Spurs NOT Negotiating For Youri Tielemans, Yet Anyway




The agent of midfielder Youri Tielemans has contacted Tottenham to sound us out about a possible move, not as reported elsewhere in the press that we have contacted him.

The media are misquoting Belgian journalist Kristof Terreur who was talking to Sky Sports’ Transfer Talk podcast.

“There have been talks, the agent’s had talks with Spurs and Man United about him.

“Not sure he’s the first choice at both clubs either. Monaco, they want to sell him and get rid of him.

“He’s not in the plans of the manager. His good performances have done what they wanted, he’s now worth more than he was worth in January when they rated him already at £40m.

“He’s happy at Leicester, he enjoyed his time but it’s now the question if Leicester are going to spend most of their transfer budget on one player.

“Maybe if they sell Maguire to Manchester City or something they will have more money but it’s that question because Monaco will want a lot of money.

“It won’t be one that will be done in the early days of the transfer window, that one will be one for the last few weeks when clubs want the best price for him.

“If I was a Premier League club I would sign him, he’s special.”

The Sun have guessed that Manchester City will try to sign the 22-year-old (23 next May) with David Silva leaving for money in Qatar. Again it is the agent looking for a club for him rather than the other way around, we have all been watching him yes.

Tielemans has apparently already told Leicester City that he is happy to stay there, but they would have to fork out the transfer fee Monaco want and that is unlikely.

It is typical of our press, in their quest to be the first to bring you the news, they bring you the wrong news. The agent is contacting clubs to sound them out in case Leicester City can't afford the fee.
