TOTTENHAM INTERESTED IN MONACO'S YOURI TIELEMANS


Tottenham are exploring the chances of signing Monaco midfielder Youri Tielemans, Sky Sports News has been told.

One source close to the negotiations has confirmed they are in talks over a possible deal to bring the Belgian midfielder to north London - though another source close to the club has denied they've entered into negotiations for him.

Leicester City remain the favourites to bring Tielemans to the Premier League - possibly with Adrien Silva going in the opposite direction as a part-swap deal.

But Spurs look ready to compete with Leicester over his signature - Monaco want in excess of £20m.

Tielemans is 21, but has already won 19 caps for Belgium and helped them to the World Cup semi-finals in the summer.

He began his career at Anderlecht, scoring 35 goals in 185 games before joining Monaco in 2017.

He is the youngest Belgian to play Champions League football, making his debut in the competition aged just 16 years and 148 days.
