Report: Tottenham in race to sign Youri Tielemans from Leicester

Tottenham Hotspur have joined the race to sign Youri Tielemans this summer, with Calciomercato reporting that the Leicester City star is more likely to stay in the Premier League.

Tielemans could well be on the move in the coming months. His contract at the King Power Stadium expires at the end of next season. And it would appear that he may not sign a new deal.

Reports have claimed that the Foxes are looking for around £25 million for the Belgian. And it is no surprise to see a host of sides eyeing a move.

It was suggested on Monday that Arsenal are above all in the race for Tielemans. But the Gunners are certainly not the only English team in the mix.

Calciomercato reports that he is more likely to stay in the Premier League amid interest from Juventus. And amongst those who want Tielemans is Tottenham.

Youri Tielemans could be an outstanding signing for Tottenham

Tielemans has been outstanding in the Premier League. And the contract situation opens the door for a potential bargain in the summer.

Certainly, if he can kick on, he could prove to be an incredible signing for Tottenham. He has scored six goals in the Premier League – outscoring all of Spurs’ central midfield options combined.

Of course, that is not the job of the likes of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Rodrigo Bentancur and Oliver Skipp. But adding a goalscorer to those options could be a really smart move.

Tottenham are absolutely flying right now. And they could well end up back in the Champions League again next season.

Signing a ‘special‘ player like Tielemans would be a brilliant way for Tottenham to potentially mark their return to the top table of European football.
