MIKEL ARTETA has requested Arsenal sign Youri Tielemans in January, according to reports.
And they could try and tempt Leicester to cash in on their £40million Belgian midfielder.
Tielemans, 25, is out of contract at the King Power at the end of the season and has rejected the offer of an extension.
SunSport revealed the Arsenal board will back Arteta in the January transfer window to bolster the squad and continue their surprise title challenge.
And according to Rudy Galetti reporter Manuel Maraia, he is finally going to push for a move for Tielemans.
