Arsenal to strengthen his midfielder”>Youri Tielemans has been making good weather in Leicester since 2019, but new challenges are ahead for the Red Devil. His contract expires in June 2023 and Arsenal are said to be interested in the midfielder.
“He’s at an age and a year in his contract where he definitely needs to look at all options,” coach Brendan Rodgers understands. “Of course I would prefer him to stay in Leicester.”
“But I understand that a professional career is short. For players it’s about ambition, challenge and sometimes a different environment. We have seen that before. Sometimes a team wins the Champions League and a player leaves.”
“I can only make sure that he continues to progress as a player and that he stays focused.”
Before the competition match against Burnley, Rodgers reiterated how strong his bond is with the Red Devil. “I promised him when I arrived that I would make him better as a player and he believes in the environment.”
“You can see that Youri enjoys being here. But you have to understand that these pros have a short career,” concludes Rodgers.
