Tottenham transfer news: Spurs interested in signing Youri Tielemans in the summer

Tottenham are weighing up a move for Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans, reports the Daily Mirror (h/t Leicester Mercury).

Youri Tielemans, 21, has impressed since joining Leicester on loan from Monaco in January, with Adrien Silva heading in the opposite direction. Leicester are keen to strike a deal but there’s no buy clause in the loan agreement, so the Foxes have to strike a separate deal and may have to splash around £40m for his permanent signing in the summer (h/t Leicester Mercury).

Tottenham have been linked with the Belgian midfielder as Mauricio Pochettino looks to bolster his midfield options but the Daily Mirror (h/t Leicester Mercury) claims that Manchester United are serious contenders too.

With 2 goals and 4 assists in his 10 Premier League appearances, Tielemans has shown enough promise to suggest that he could be the answer to Spurs’ midfield conundrum.

Tielemans would be a good fit at Tottenham

Spurs sold Dembele to Chinese Super League side Guangzhou R&F in the January transfer window as his contract was set to expire in the summer. But Mauricio Pochettino didn’t bring in a replacement throughout the winter transfer window, meaning we have now failed to sign a single player since Lucas Moura joined the club in January 2018.

Even though Pochettino has done an excellent job so far this season despite signing no players in the past two transfer windows, we cannot ignore the fact that our squad needs bolstering in the summer.

At 21, Tielemans has already given a glimpse of his qualities at Leicester City. He’s been a revelation for the Foxes since his arrival. The Belgium international may not be a world-class name that Tottenham fans really want to see this summer but he has the potential to become a world beater.

Without any second thoughts, the youngster has to be high on Pochettino’s summer wishlist.
