Spurs opinion: Why Youri Tielemans would be a perfect fit at Tottenham’s

Youri Tielemans was a winter window target for Tottenham as he struggled to make things work at Monaco, according to the Telegraph.

The Belgian midfielder ended up moving to Leicester City in January on loan, and has done a decent job under new manager Brendan Rodgers.

The 21-year-old has one goal and two assists since joining the Foxes, but wasn’t going to commit his future to the club and would wait till the end of the season before making a decision.

Tielemans ticks the boxes for Spurs

The 21-year-old seems to have everything that Mauricio Pochettino needs in a midfielder. The midfielder is young and has the potential to get even better under the right manager.

Further, Tielemans plays in the centre of the park and would add more competition to the likes of Harry Winks, Moussa Sissoko, Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama, though the latter pair are more defensive midfielders than Winks and Sissoko.

Tielemans has the ability to pass the ball through gaps and unlock defences, and he is known for having a bit of a pop from goal too, according to WhoScored.

Tottenham have one slot open in their midfield after selling Mousa Dembele in the winter window.

The move from Tielemans to Leicester works in our favour too. The Belgian can spend half a season learning the style of play in the Premier League, and we can make a move for him later.

Tottenham haven’t signed players in two transfer windows, and it will be interesting to see how much we will be spending in the summer window.

Daniel Levy has backed the team to spend in the summer despite the club being in debt over a move to the new stadium.

Pochettino has worked well with young talents since his move to England and has seen the likes of Dele Alli, Eric Dier and Harry Kane do well at Spurs.

Tielemans could be the next one on the list and Levy should look at signing the Belgian before any other club makes a move.
