Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with Leicester loanee Youri Tielemans.
Leicester City did Tottenham Hotspur a huge favour by beating Arsenal 3-0 this afternoon – and Spurs fans want one of the stars of the show signed up this summer.
The Foxes saw Arsenal go down to 10 men in the first half as Ainsley Maitland-Niles was sent off, and they took full advantage after the break.
Youri Tielemans put Leicester in front, before Jamie Vardy raced through to score the second, and then converted a late third from a Ricardo Pereira cross.
Leicester’s push for the Europa League continues, whilst Arsenal have now lost three games in seven days after defeats to Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers too.
That keeps Arsenal behind Tottenham in the race for the top four, and Spurs fans were really impressed with one of the players on show for Leicester.
Midfielder Tielemans has starred since joining on loan from Monaco in January, and has now racked up three goals and four assists in 11 games for the Foxes.
Het Laatste Nieuws in Belgium recently reported that Tottenham want Tielemans in a deal which would cost around £40million, seemingly eyeing him as the replacement for Moussa Dembele in midfield.
Spurs fans have been taking to Twitter today to hail the 21-year-old’s performance, urging Daniel Levy to get the chequebook out and make sure Tielemans is signed as soon as possible.
Some believe that Tielemans should be the top name on Mauricio Pochettino’s wish list this summer, branding him ‘quality’ and just what Spurs need in midfield.
