Brendan Rodgers insists Leicester must accept they will always sell their best players – With Arsenal still keen on Youri Tielemans

The club has banked around £275million from selling several big names over the last five years, including Harry Maguire, N’Golo Kante and Wesley Fofana, and could see some more stars leave in the coming window.

The likes of Jamie Vardy – James Maddison and Tielemans are just three players that are tipped to depart the club – with the Belgian a player that Arsenal were looking at during the January window.

Now – amid all the speculation – Rodgers insists Leicester must accept they will always sell their best players: “It’s (selling talent) something in the main that’s always been done,” said boss Rodgers, ahead of Saturday’s trip to Aston Villa.

“Apart from in the pandemic, where it was really tough financially, and the market value we were going to put on a player maybe wasn’t going to be there.

“You can never be frightened of that. It’s all about that pipeline of players, bringing in the next one. It’s the model that’s here.

“If you can bring players in and develop them to the level they can do here, they will always be of interest, and that will gain them more money and financial abilities later on in their lives. It’s really about bringing in the next one.

“Early on in my career I had a player I was absolutely devastated that I lost, because I thought it would make a big impact on the way my team played.

“I was genuinely (puffs out cheeks) because I was young in my career and I was really down this player had decided to leave when he was on a free transfer. I never thought we could play how we wanted without his big qualities.

“But we ended up getting someone in who was absolutely brilliant and did great and it made me, at that point in time, never really get too in love with a player.

“I love talent and I love working with players but players will come and go and if they do it’s just a case of making sure you’ve got the next ones to come in.

“I learned that early on in my career. Footballers have short careers and they have to maximise that.

“I am a custodian of the club, I have to look after the club and make sure we can try to get the next one in. That’s what we’ll do here.”

Arsenal official announce"deal have been completed at Emirates stadium Arsenal are set to acquire one of the brightest young talents in Polish football after reports suggested Krystian Bielik would soon sign for the Gunners from Legia Warsaw. Jamie Sanderson of Metro says the north London giants will grab the highly rated 16-year-old after making their move a fortnight ago for the midfielder in a deal worth £1.6 million. Sanderson reports the teenager has been in England this week to tie up matters and to take a look at his new club's facilities after agreeing terms. The deal will see Bielik boost his current salary of £125 a week to a huge £8000 per month, as cited by Sanderson. Danish journalist Henrik Hindby gave some details on the talent who will not yet be well known to English football supporters: Simon Jones of the Daily Mail had previously reported on Arsene Wenger's interest in the defensive-minded player, saying Everton were also in line to pursue the youngster.

Potential January Club-Record Signing Arrives, In Emirates Stadium Amid Gabriel Jesus Solutions

For the first time in a long time, Arsenal break transfer record head into the January transfer window with something to hold onto. The Gunners are well and truly in the title race heading into January, and if they keep up their good form, their lengthy title drought could end this season. However, as we all know, things just aren’t quite that easy. Indeed, keeping up this level of form will not be a straightforward task for the Gunners, and they will need some help in this winter transfer window. Luckily, it has been reported that Edu and Mikel Arteta will be backed in the transfer market, and with that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting the north London club’s post-January XI. We think that Arsenal may only make one signing next month, but, to be fair, it’s a huge one. Indeed, after weeks and weeks of speculation, we’re tipping Arsenal to finally conclude a deal for Mykhaylo Mudryk. Unfortunately for Arsenal, Mudryk will not come cheaply. Darijo Srna has stated that he wants a fee

Arsenal star complete £29.5m move to Italian Giants Juventus

  Arsenal star complete £29.5m move to Italian Giants Juventus Kieran Tierney reportedly edging towards a move to Italian giants Kierney’s future at Arsenal is in doubt, as we previously reported. The Scotland International was Arsenal’s first choice before the arrival of Oleksander Zinchenko. Zinchenko’s undeniable contribution to Arteta’s project, on the other hand, has seen him eventually establish himself as Arteta’s first choice at left back. Zinchenko’s ability to not only link up with the left wing through the lines, but also to drift inside and play through the midfield has seen him weaponize Arsenal whenever they play. Tierney also plays well through the lines, but Arsenal are better off with Zinchenko at the moment. Tierney may leave Arsenal this summer due to a lack of playing time. James Benge, a CBS Sports journalist, has cast further doubt on Tierney’s future with his claim about how Ivan Fresneda’s move to Arsenal could affect the full-back position. According to reports

  "I wish I never left..." - Arsenal flop admits he massively regrets joining the Gunners Former Arsenal player Willian has claimed he regrets signing for the north London club. The Brazilian spent seven successful seasons at Chelsea, before moving to Arsenal on a free transfer in the summer of 2020. Indeed, he left Chelsea for the Gunners after the Blues only offered him a two-year deal to stay at Stamford Bridge. In contrast, Arsenal offered the winger three seasons at the Emirates. However a dismal spell there saw him leave in the summer of 2021 after just 12 months, to return to Brazil, signing for Corinthians. When asked by Sky Sports if he regretted leaving Chelsea for Arsenal, Willian admitted: “Yeah. I wish I’d never left. Yeah. “Of course, it’s easy to say something now, but when I stop to think about the whole situation then yeah, I say to myself I wish I’d never left. “But it’s life. I’m happy now at Fulham - enjoying myself there, so this is life.” On his unsucces
