Arsenal have cooled their interest in Youri Tielemans making it more likely the Belgium midfielder will sign a one-year contract extension at Leicester.
Arsenal have long been admirers of Tielemans, who has just one year left on his existing Leicester deal, but with the Gunners having agreed a £34m deal for Porto midfielder Fabio Vieira on Friday, that interest has waned.

Vieira won the player of the tournament award at last year's European U21 Championship.
Arsenal are "cautiously optimistic" of getting a deal for football world cup 2022 Man City's Gabriel Jesus over the line to help remedy their goalscoring issues.
The North London club put in nearly six months of work with the forward's representative Marcello Pettinati to ensure they were in pole position to recruit him from the Premier League champions this summer.
Jesus indicated his desire to move to world cup 2022 the Emirates at the start of June and the only hinderance thus far has been the distance between the valuations of both clubs.
During initial talks, Arsenal mooted a figure of around £30 million world cup football 2022 given the Brazil international has a year left on his contract, but the asking price is £50m.
City highlighted the player is still just 2022 football world cup 25, hasn't reached fifa world cup his ceiling, possesses a proven record in the final third, and works intensely off the ball. An intra-league transfer also generally world cup 2022 carries a premium.
Arsenal are drafting a package closer world cup 2022 to City's expectation and are confident of tying up their priority target even though there is slight anxiety over the amount of interest shown in Jesus, including from Chelsea.
