Leicester City secured a massive win over Newcastle United as the Foxes ran riot against Eddie Howe’s side, with reported Liverpool target Youri Tielemans stealing the show.

The Belgian international bagged a brace as the midfielder was key to Brendan Rodgers’ side claiming all three points against the relegation-threatened side. And it was a statement result for Leicester in the Premier League.

The 2015/16 champions have endured a poor season so far, yet this big win against Newcastle will no doubt improve morale in the squad heading into the festive schedule, with Tielemans showcasing his qualities.

Indeed, the former AS Monaco star has been one of Leicester’s best players over the past few seasons. And Tielemans’ display against Newcastle was one of his finest so far for the Foxes, which got Liverpool fans on social media purring.

As per Voetbal 24, Liverpool are one of the many sides eager to sign Tielemans, with Fabrizio Romano claiming that the Foxes will be open to selling the midfielder for offers in the £65m range.

With Liverpool unable to replace Georgino Wijnaldum in the summer, the 24-year-old could be a realistic option for Liverpool. And after his performance against Newcastle, supporters are desperate for Tielemans to sign for the Anfield side.

Moreover, with Leicester looking unlikely to qualify for the UEFA Champions League once again, Tielemans could be tempted to move to Liverpool in 2022 to finally play top-level continental football.
