Youri Tielemans Confident He Can Become Part of 'Something Special' During Leicester Spell

On-loan Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans believes that he can play a part in the long-term success of the Foxes.

The 21-year-old joined Leicester on loan from AS Monaco in January until the end of the season, in a deal where Foxes midfielder Adrien Silva moved in the opposite direction to the Ligue 1 club.

Tielemans started his career with Anderlecht in his native Belgium, where he spent four years, establishing himself as one of the most talented young midfielders in Europe. In 2017 AS Monaco beat several other clubs to his signature.

He was called up for Belgium's 2018 World Cup squad and made four appearances in the tournament.
