Tottenham Hotspur should make a move for the Monaco ace before the transfer window closes next week.

Mauricio Pochettino manager

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino will surely be desperate to bolster his ranks this month, especially with so many key players currently out injured.

The problem that Spurs will face is that they don’t have lavish amounts of cash at their disposal, what with their expensive move to their new home.

One particular area where Pochettino will undoubtedly want to strengthen is his central midfield department, with Mousa Dembele having left for China earlier this month.

With this in mind, Tottenham should consider making a move for Monaco ace Youri Tielemans, who is attracting attention from Leicester City, according to a report from the Daily Mail, and could be available for as little as £21.5 million, according to the Sun.

The 21-year-old really is an exceptional talent, and he possesses all of the attributes needed to flourish under Pochettino.

He has a wonderful range of passing, and he is comfortable when in possession of the football, as well as being supremely gifted from a technical perspective.

Tielemans has the ability to go on and become one of Europe’s very best midfielders, and there is no manager better equipped than Poch to get the best out of him.

The Belgium international has already made an incredible 268 career appearances for club an country – a quite remarkable tally for someone who is not yet 22.

Whilst Tielemans is not a box-to-box midfielder like Dembele, he would still be an excellent replacement for his countryman at Tottenham, and Pochettino should not hesitate to bring him to north London before the transfer window slams shut on Thursday.
