Leicester close to loan signing of Monaco midfielder

Leicester are closing in on the loan signing of Monaco midfielder Youri Tielemans. Tielemans, 21, flew into the Midlands on Wednesday to complete his medical, with Portuguese midfielder Adrien Silva, 29, going the other way. The joint deal is yet to be completed but no major obstacles are anticipated. Highly rated Belgium international Tielemans, 21, joined Monaco from Anderlecht in 2017 and has 14 caps for his country. Silva has failed to make much of an impact at the King Power Stadium since arriving from Sporting Lisbon for £22m in 2017.
