Arsenal set to go into transfer market with £14m January bid for Chelsea target Tielemans

Youri Tielemans is a reported target for Arsenal

ARSENAL are lining up a January bid for Anderlecht teenager Youri Tielemans, according to reports.

The 18-year-old signed a five-year contract to stay in Belgium last month but Calciomercato claim that won't put the Gunners off.
Tielemans has also been linked with Chelsea and Atetico Madrid but Anderlecht are apparently asking for an unrealistic fee.

It is understood they want at least £14.4million for the midfielder, who has been capped at various youth levels for Belgium.
He scored six goals from midfield last season and went on a scoring spree with four in the last 12 games of the campaign.

Gunners fans are eager for manager Arsene Wenger to dip into the transfer market after signing only Petr Cech in the summer.
Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema was linked with the Emirates all summer but nothing came to fruition.
Supporters reacted furiously to the news after a shock defeat to West Ham early this term.
But they might just get their wish for new faces when the winter transfer window opens in January.
