Leicester City faces stiff competition in their quest to keep star boy, Youri Tielemans. Will they be able to fend off stronger competitors?

They are very capable of it. The way they beat everybody to James Maddison, choosing the King Power Stadium as his preferred location baffles me till today. Players of Youri’s quality want to play at the highest level in football, as well as deserve to play there.

Right now, there’s no guarantee Brendan Rodgers will bring that in his maiden campaign with the club. With AS Monaco in all sorts of cow manure, moving over from France shouldn’t be that hard for him.

Any sort of European football would have been enough to convince him to stay at Leicester over any of the big clubs. Now he’s spoilt for choice in times the Foxes don’t need him to be. However, if the player wants to compete in the big leagues, he must consider better or other options.

Teams lurking for Youri Tielemans‘ signature

There are three top-six clubs from England rumoured to be in for Tielemans. Arsenal, Man United and Tottenham are those clubs said to be extremely interested in adding the midfielder to the ranks.

Who will be the Youri winner?
