Ex-Spurs star urges Tielemans to move to Arsenal

Published on: 23 February 2017

Former Tottenham striker Nico Claesen believes Anderlecht whiz Youri Tielemans should move to Arsenal.

Claesen, who scored 18 goals in 50 games for Spurs between 1986 and 1988, believes another North London side would be the right place for Arsenal.

“Succeeding in the Premier League is something different to excelling in Belgium," Claesen told Het Laatste Nieuws. “I think of efficiency in the adaptation, because he needs to work on.

“And can he compete? At Anderlecht, everything has always been relatively easy for him. In England he must start from scratch and learn to fight.

“I rather think a club like Arsenal, who haven't won many titles in recent years, but have a great look. Furthermore, the Gunners play in a way that Tielemans must: with a lot of technique and opportunities for youngsters."
