Mikel Arteta has recently been quizzed on Arsenal\u2019s links to Leicester City midfielder, Youri Tielemans.<\/p>\n

The Belgian is out of contract in 2023 and seemingly not eager to put pen to paper on a fresh deal.<\/p>\n

Reports earlier this year claimed that Arsenal had identified the 25-year-old as one of their top targets, with Tielemans\u2019 lack of a new deal sparking interest from several clubs, including Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Arteta was also said to be eyeing a left-footed midfielder who can operate as an eight on the left of a three, which Tielemans can.<\/p>\n

So far, no move has transpired and Arsenal have brought in Fabio Vieira from FC Porto, though he is expected to take up a more advanced role in the Gunners\u2019 midfield.<\/p>\n

However, the door for a Tielemans to Arsenal transfer still appears to be open.<\/p>\n

With Betfair, Arsenal are the current favourites to sign Tielemans with odds of 10\/11<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And, when asked about the possibility of signing Tielemans on Friday, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta did not rule it out:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are more things that we would like to do if we can,\u201d Arteta told reporters after Friday\u2019s 5-3 win over Nurnberg.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously the market will dictate what we can do. So far we are happy with what we have done.\u201d<\/p>\n
