Leicester City are reportedly in talks with Monaco over the possibility of signing midfielder Youri Tielemans.
The 21-year old, who was part of the Belgium squad that finished third in the summer's World Cup, has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League over the years.
Following the sale of Vicente Iborra, the Foxes are now pressing to secure the services of a new midfielder and are keen on Tielemans, who is said to be in favour of moving to England.
The talk from Sky Sports is that a deal would cost £20 million, though there is the possibility of Tielemans leaving on loan and Adrien Silva moving in the opposition.

It would be a huge coup for Leicester either way, as Tielemans is one of the most talented young midfielders in world football today.
His move to Monaco hasn't quite worked out since he joined in 2017, with the Principality club experiencing a swift fall from grace.
The former Anderlecht captain is renowned for his special ability from distance, having scored an impressive 18 goals in his final season in Belgium.

He has bagged five goals in Ligue One for struggling Monaco this term and could bring that extra bit of flair that Leicester could do with in midfield.
