  • Arsenal fans have pleaded with the club and Mikel Arteta to sign Youri Tielemans, who scored another wonder strike in Leicester City's 2-0 win over Everton
  • Tielemans was close to joining Arsenal this past summer, but they did not make an offer to the Foxes
  • Tielemans's contract with Leicester ends at the end of the season, and Gunners fans want the club to sign him in January

Arsenal target Youri Tielemans has added another stunner to his long list of stunning goals following another spectacular volley against Everton in Leicester's hard-fought 2-0 win.

The Belgian scored another stunner late last month and has surely cemented his position as a player who only scorers screamers.

As Harvey Barnes' cross into the Everton box was scuffed by Patson Daka, the in-form James Maddison teed Tielemans with a bouncing pas before the Belgium star rifled an unstoppable shot into the left corner, according to the BBC.

His goal gave the Foxes the lead, and Arsenal fans were salivating at the idea of having the midfielder in their team.

Tielemans is in the final year of his contract with Leicester, and there's no sign that he intends to extend his deal at the King Power, according to Football London.

Arsenal fans plea to Arteta

Following his wonder strike, Arsenal fans took to social media to urge Arteta to sign the 25-year-old, according to the Daily Star.

"Tielemans is such a baller, we should bring him to Arsenal in January."

Another said the Gunners should be all over Tielemans.

"Why are Arsenal not all over the Tielemans deal. He’s class. Cheap with his contract running down. And desperate to join us."

One jokingly said the Gunners would have several goal-of-the-season contenders.

"Well, if Arsenal are to sign Tielemans then we would at least have two or three goal of the season entries "

Another added that the club should bring him in in January.

"Arsenal surely gotta secure Youri Tielemans to wear the red and white in January. Please ."

One analyst said the Belgian would improve the gunners in several ways.

"What a player Tielemans is. Arsenal need to snap that man up. He's the #8 they need to elevate the project even further. How many players are naturals in the first and second phase along with being a major threat in the final third? His physical limitations are also exaggerated."

Tielemans is free to sign a pre-contract deal with foreign clubs from January 1 as he enters the final months of his deal with the Foxes.

Tielemans does not regret about staying

Sports Brief earlier reported on Tielemans saying he has no regrets about staying at Leicester City.

Arsenal and Manchester United were interested in the Belgian, but no deal came to fruition.

Arsenal had reportedly agreed personal terms with the midfielder but did not make an offer this past summer.
