The Belgian talent is all set to leave Anderlecht this summer.
It has been reported by Het Nieuwsblad that Belgian talent Youri Tielemans is set to leave Anderlecht in the summer, with Tottenham Hotspur said to be interested in his signature.
Anderlecht’s sporting director Herman van Holsbeeck has been commenting on the talented midfielder this week and seemed to suggest he could leave, with a fee in the region of €22 million (£18.75 million) mooted.

Big names have been mentioned when it comes to his signature, but should Newcastle United attempt to hijack a deal and make Tielemans a marquee signature.
Newcastle may have been dumped out of the FA Cup this afternoon by Oxford United but they are still well on course to earn promotion to the Premier League at the first attempt.

If they do so they will need to improve their squad further and Tielemans could be a perfect statement of intent that they are back and mean business in the top-flight again.
That fee is not beyond the realms of Newcastle’s transfer parameters and his age would make him an ideal signing if they are to establish themselves among the Premier League’s elite again.
