Youri Tielemans to Liverpool on Deadline Day? Fabrizio Romano discusses the Leicester City midfielder's future as the transfer deadline draws nearer.

Not a bad price either due to his contract situation, but let’s see.” and it is now up to them. “I have no confirmations on mysterious offers so far.

and it is now up to them. “I have no confirmations on mysterious offers so far. The Belgian international is thought to have attracted some serious interest from Arsenal, though news that the midfielder could be available for as little as £25m – thanks to his current contract situation – may yet force the Merseysiders into a move.

NEWCASTLE are still in the hunt for a new midfielder before the transfer window closes. The Magpies have been interested in Leicester's Youri Tiele.

Youri Tielemans is reportedly expected to stay at Leicester despite interest from Premier League rivals Newcastle and Arsenal.

But that has surprisingly not happened in the summer transfer window. The player’s representatives have been hoping the Gunners will terminate his contract and with the deadline fast approaching, the Premier League club may have to succumb to their demands. He spent last season on loan with Real Betis, who were hoping to sign the Spaniard on a permanent basis, though they do not appear to be in the race anymore. Leicester have not been busy this summer but the sale of Wesley Fofana means they have some money to spend on deadline day. The Gunners have agreed personal terms with the Belgian midfielder but have not submitted a formal bid to Leicester. Arsenal are hoping to sign a new midfielder before the transfer window closes on Thursday with Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny out injured.

The Gunners, who have already agreed to personal terms with the Belgian midfielder, appear unwilling to meet the Foxes (ridiculous) £30M valuation. He's out of ...

There will be more competition for his signature, but Arsenal will be in the mix. He’ll be moving on a free transfer in the summer. He’s a good player, and they’re struggling to start the season.

Newcastle are interested in Youri Tielemans but are not expecting to bring him in on transfer deadline day, according to Telegraph journalist Luke Edwards.

"I just think time has run out. "Tielemans would be great, but I think they will keep a watching brief for what happens will him. "I don't think this is happening," he told the Transfer Gossip Daily podcast.

Tielemans, 25, has entered the final year of his deal at Leicester. That is, after joining the club back in January 2019 – signing a permanent four-year deal in ...

He needs replacing and Tielemans would be a sensational replacement. Newcastle would have to rip up their wage structure to bring in Tielemans.” It would be a big decision for Tielemans to pack up and leave now. “Tielemans is a player that Newcastle have had an interest in for a while. Indeed, the Sky Sports reporter claims that Newcastle may have to rip up their current wage structure for him. Downie says Newcastle are keen and a transfer fee would not be a problem.

Youri Tielemans' starts for Leicester against Manchester United which gives Arsenal transfer clarity on deadline day.

Mikel Arteta's side have 'cooled' their interest in the Belgian earlier in the window, according to [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12635963/youri-tielemans-arsenal-interest-in-belgium-midfielder-cools-to-make-one-year-leicester-extension-more-likely). [CBS Sports](https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/) reported earlier in the season that Tielemans would be available for £30m. His inclusion in Leicester City's lineup all but confirms his status as a Leicester City player until at least January. However, his inclusion in the Leicester has made it clear that is not the case. But, with the Foxes' fixture against Manchester United taking place on the same evening as deadline day his inclusion in the team effectively confirms that he will be not be leaving before the 11pm deadline. Though if a rival made an offer this summer, Arsenal would make a move.

Arsenal and Newcastle United have been linked with a deadline-day move for Leicester City star Youri Tielemans and Shay Given and Dietmar Hamann have both ...

If they were to secure his services, I think it would be a brilliant transfer. Former Newcastle midfielder Dietmar Hamann echoed the view of his former team-mate, suggesting Tielemans would be the final piece of Eddie Howe's midfield jigsaw. Imagine him in the midfield with [Bruno] Guimaraes, it would be something special in there." I suppose most of the top clubs not just in this country but around Europe would want him. Tielemans has entered the final year of his contract with the Foxes, and is expected to seek a move away next summer as a free agent. Arsenal have long been linked with a summer move for Tielemans, although the league leaders are reportedly locked in negotiations for Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz.

Arsenal have been linked with a move for Youri Tielemans all summer long but in the end, didn't even make a bid for the Belgian midfielder.

For Tielemans, it looks like being a case of the player simply needing to knuckle down and get on with it at Leicester for the time being. It appears there was a wide open door for Arsenal to sign Tielemans here but for one reason or another, Edu and Mikel Arteta pursued different avenues. However, with the deadline creeping ever closer as we speak, Tielemans looks set to remain in Leicester for the time being at least.

Arsenal ended up empty-handed on transfer deadline day after their pursuit of Aston Villa's Douglas Luiz ended in failure.
