If reports over the last few weeks are to be believed, Tottenham are already circling a number of the Foxes stars, with James Maddison (Telegraph) and Harvey Barnes (Football Insider) thought to be of interest to the North London club.

Football Transfers have now revealed that Spurs also have an eye on a third Leicester player in Tielemans, whose contract at the King Power Stadium runs out this summer.

The publication primarily focuses on Liverpool’s interest in the Belgian, explaining that Jurgen Klopp has identified him as the right option to bolster his options in the middle of the park.

However, the report adds that the Reds are not alone in their admiration of Tielemans, with Tottenham, Newcastle United and Manchester United also said to be watching the 25-year-old’s situation closely.

Tielemens would be a decent squad option and one would expect plenty of clubs to show interest in the 25-year-old, given that he is available on a free transfer.

With Rodrigo Bentancur looking set to miss the first few months of next season, there is no doubt that we need reinforcements in midfield.
