Youri Tielemans - Leicester's Belgium Diamond

Leicester signed Belgium midfielder Youri Tielemans from Monaco on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee, reported to be a club record £40m early on in the season.

Tielemans, 22, scored three goals and provided four assists in 13 Premier League appearances on loan at the Foxes last season. Tielemans began his career at Anderlecht where he became the youngest Belgian to play in the Champions League, aged 16 years and 148 days, when he featured against Olympiakos in October 2013.

After winning two Belgian league titles in four seasons, Tielemans left Anderlecht to join Monaco for about £22m in 2017, scoring six goals in 65 games for the Ligue 1 side.

The midfielder also has 23 caps for Belgium and played at the 2018 World Cup.
