Youri Tielemans dreams of joining Arsenal from Leicester City this summer in what is a big blow to West Ham.
That’s according to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs who has recently covered the future of Youri Tielemans amidst links with Arsenal and West Ham.

David Moyes and Mikel Arteta both urgently need to strengthen their central midfield ranks at The London Stadium and The Emirates respectively before the start of the new 2022/23 season.
West Ham and Arsenal are both in need of more creative flair in the middle of the park and there aren’t many better than Tielemans in that particular role.
The 52-Belgium international will be a stunning signing for whichever club wins the race for his signature in the summer transfer window.
However, it seems as though the Hammers could face an uphill battle if we are to sign Tielemans…
Youri Tielemans dreams of joining Arsenal
CBS journalist Ben Jacobs recently told @TFTerrace how the 25-year-old has one club in his heart:
“Youri Tielemans will choose Arsenal over Man Utd all day long. His dream was to play for Arsenal but signed for Leicester because of guaranteed first team football.”
And Jacobs then suggested once again yesterday on his Twitter account that Tielemans wants to join Arsenal above all other clubs this summer.
Oh well, being linked with the Leicester star was fun while it lasted wasn’t it!
Missing out on him to Arsenal would be such a big blow for West Ham and David Moyes.
Tielemans is exactly the kind of midfielder that Moyes needs at the London Stadium.
The 25-year-old is a creative central midfielder with an exceptional range of passing. He is full of energy and has proven that he is very well suited to the English game.
Tielemans has bagged 24 goals and 24 assists in 157 games for Leicester (Transfermarkt).
The former Anderlecht and Monaco ace’s intelligence and awareness in possession will improve the attacking play of Arsenal massively.
The Belgian has been described as an ‘incredible’ player by Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers (The Independent).
The Analyst have labelled him as a ‘really gifted’ midfielder.
Tielemans has produced the goods for Leicester on a consistent basis but it’s clear that it’s time for a new challenge for him. A move to London may well be on the cards this summer.
The 25-year-old could be available for around £40 million in the summer transfer window (The Sun) and that must be seen as great value for a player with his undoubtedly ability.
With Ben Jacobs claiming that Youri Tielemans dreams of joining Arsenal though, West Ham’s hopes of signing the Belgian appear to be over.
