Leicester City confirm Arsenal-linked Youri Tielemans will leave as free agent

Following their relegation from the Premier League, Leicester City have confirmed the departures of seven first-team players this summer.

Upon the expiry of their contracts at the end of this month the likes of Youri Tielemans, Caglar Soyuncu, Daniel Amartey, Nampalys Mendy, Ryan Bertrand, Ayoze Perez and Tete will leave.

Interestingly, Tielemans has been linked with Arsenal for well over a year now. And since he's leaving for free, the Gunners could revive that interest.

In fact, back in January, reports claimed that Mikel Arteta prefers signing Tielemans for free in the summer rather than paying a fee in the winter transfer window.

With Granit Xhaka nearing an exit, Arsenal could fill a gaping hole in midfield with Tielemans.
