Arsenal Transfer News: Youri Tielemans Explains Why He Favoured Monaco

Youri Tielemans has explained why he opted to move from Anderlecht to Monaco this summer, despite interest from Arsenal.

Per Marc Isaacs at the Mirror, the Belgian said he felt he would not see regular football with the Gunners due to the quality of players already in Arsene Wenger's squad.

"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.
