Arsenal transfer target Youri Tielemans may have dropped a major hint that he will be leaving Leicester City this summer.
football.london reported earlier this year that Tielemans' agent had a meeting with Gunners' technical director Edu at the club's London Colney training ground, with the north Londoners certainly interested in the player. football.london also understands that Arsenal have been holding off on finalising a deal for the Belgian but reports of other teams being interested in acquiring his services could change their stance.
Now, the former Monaco star may have hinted that he will indeed be leaving the Foxes in the summer transfer window after he put his house in Leicester up for sale. It is currently unclear where exactly the 25-year-old's next destination will be, but he has previously made no secret of his admiration for the Gunners.

Speaking about why he previously turned down a move to the Emirates Stadium back in 2017, he said: “I knew not much was going to change with Arsenal’s squad. Their management wanted to keep the same group of players together in order to finish high in the Premier League.
“I had to be honest with myself and take a look at the midfielders Arsenal have got. They are top-class players.”
He added: “I knew that I would not get many first-team chances with them, so I didn’t give any more thought to joining them. I never said no to any club. But I made it clear where I wanted to go.”
Tielemans has established himself as one of the most gifted central midfielders during his time in the Premier League, scoring a combined 12 goals and providing a further eight assists across the last two league campaigns.
