Leicester City reportedly identify Monaco midfielder Youri Tielemans as a potential signing before the end of the January transfer window.

Monaco midfielder Youri Tielemans has reportedly emerged as a January target for Leicester City.

Tielemans is regarded as one of the top prospects in European football, and the 21-year-old has already made 63 appearances since moving to Monaco in May 2017.

However, the Belgium international is currently part of a side struggling at the bottom of Ligue 1, and it appears that Leicester are keen on capitalising on the upheaval at the club.

According to the Daily Mail, the Foxes are contemplating whether to launch a bid in the region of £20m for the playmaker before the end of the month.

Tielemans still has three-and-a-half years left on his contract, but Monaco could potentially consider a sale for the right price given their desire to sign new players over the next six days.

Leicester will likely face competition from other clubs should Tielemans become available.
