According to Mark Irwin of The Sun, Arsenal are ready to place a £30m bid for Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans.
Arsenal have 'stepped up' their interest in the player and are ready to make a firm offer.
The Gunners are confident of sealing a deal for the 25-year-old despite interest from Manchester United and Newcastle United.

The report states Mikel Arteta is turning his attention to the midfield after beefing up his attack.
Arsenal have been priced out of 'Top target' Ruben Neves and have explored the possibility of a bid for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
They ultimately decided against this due to the player's lack of Premier League experience and cost.
Irwin continues, stating that Leicester are reluctant to lose Tielemans, but are left with no choice due to the player's contract only having one year left.

The Belgian is keen to become a key player for Mikel Arteta.
Tielemans would by no means spell the end of Arsenal's business this summer.
Lisandro Martinez is still wanted by the Gunners, but they face competition from Manchester United.
Raphinha looks to be one that has got away from them, with the player looking to join Chelsea or Barcelona.

Arsenal fans will be pleased to learn that the club are looking to reignite their interest in Tielemans.
The midfielder has been a popular target for Gunners fans this summer, with most assuming the Belgian would join.
However, interest had seemed to cool.
Arsenal looked to focus on other deals such as Raphinha and Jesus, leaving the Tielemans deal on ice.

With interest from other clubs reportedly incoming, perhaps now is the time for Arsenal to get their man.
The midfielder is Premier League proven, and would make a quality addition to Arsenal's midfield.
If Arteta's men do decide to go ahead with this signing, it would mark their fifth move of the Summer.
Marquinhos, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner and Gabriel Jesus have already been signed and Arsenal are showing no signs of slowing down.
