Leicester Considering £20m Move for Monaco's Youri Tielemans With Principality Side in Crisis

Leicester are interested in signing AS Monaco midfielder Youri Tielemans in a deal worth over £20m.

The Belgian has endured a difficult campaign at the Stade Louis II along with his teammates, with the Principality side currently second-bottom in Ligue 1 at past the halfway stage of the season.

Despite his inconsistent performances this season, journalist Dominic King reports that the Premier League side are showing 'significant interest' in signing the 21-year-old this month.

He adds that Tielemans would likely fetch over £20m in any potential deal, with the midfielder originally joining Monaco in 2017 in a €25m deal.
