Spurs transfer news: Brendan Rodgers confident of signing Youri Tielemans from Monaco

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that the club is speaking with Monaco to complete the signing of Youri Tielemans, according to the Sun.

The Belgian midfielder joined the Foxes on loan in January and has been linked with Manchester United and Tottenham over a £40million move (h/t Sun).

Rodgers told SunSport that despite the club not having a Head of recruitment at the moment, they are in contact with the Ligue 1 side:

“However work has been going on below that and conversations with Monaco are taking place. There are a lot of good people behind the scenes who are continuing the work.

“It is an important one for us because we want to strengthen in the summer.”

Tielemans proving his worth at Leicester

The 21-year-old didn’t perform well at Monaco in the first half of the season but has done well since joining the Foxes.

Tielemans has a goal and a couple of assists from six Premier League games. The midfielder even scored for the national side in the Euro 2020 qualifier against Russia in the recent international break.

The report claims that Monaco want £40million for the youngster. Leicester will try to bring that down to between £16m and £20m should the Ligue 1 side agree to sign Adrien Silva who is also on loan from the Foxes.

Tottenham could do with the quality of Tielemans in the midfield, and we would need to pull out something special to sign him ahead of the Foxes.
