Fabrizio Romano reveals Spurs now in talks over Tielemans

Fabrizio Romano believes that Leicester City’s Youri Tielemans is set to leave the King Power in the summer and says Tottenham Hotspur are showing an interest in the possibility of signing the Belgian star.

The 24-year-old has played for Leicester 114 times in the Premier League, scoring 18 goals with a further 16 assists since joining the club in 2019.
