Rodgers hails Tielemans capture

Published on: 09 July 2019

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is excited about the future for the Foxes, having tied up a permanent deal for Belgium international midfielder Youri Tielemans.

The 22-year-old impressed while on loan with City during the second half of last season, scoring three goals in 13 Premier League appearances, helping the Foxes to finish in ninth place in the final standings.

He's already shown that he's capable of making an impact in the Premier League.

Now Tielemans has completed a club record move from Monaco to the King Power Stadium, with Rodgers delighted to have been able to keep hold of Tielemans on a four-year contract.

He told his club's official website: "It's an incredibly exciting time for this club and to be able to bring players of Youri's quality here is an indication of the hunger for success we have here.

"Youri fitted brilliantly into the squad last season. He's already shown that he's capable of making an impact in the Premier League and he adds another option to an incredibly talented group of players here at Leicester City."

Tielemans started his career with Anderlecht and won two Belgian league titles before heading to Monaco in the summer of 2017, while on the international stage he has won 23 caps for Belgium.

He is the third major arrival at City so far this summer, with Spanish striker Ayoze Perez having joined from Newcastle United and defender James Justin having been recruited from Luton Town.

Leicester can be backed at 11/2 to finish in the top six in the Premier League next season, while they are available at 4/6 to secure a place in the top half of the table.
