Leicester City fans will still be buzzing from their big 2-1 win at Turf Moor yesterday. The Foxes were up against it from the start when Harry Maguire was sent for an early bath, not that he needed one after three minutes, for a last-man challenge. However, Brendan Rodger’s side won, and the fans were demanding MOTM Youri Tielemans is signed up.

The young Belgian midfielder’s impact at the King Power Stadium has been massive so far. In just six games for the club, the on-loan Monaco man has scored a single goal, assisted a further three and seen them pick up nine points out of a potential 18 in the matches he’s featured in. Understandably, the Foxes have all liked what they’ve seen and it’s not hard to see why either as they call for his signature.
It does look likely that Rodgers will be able to bring the midfielder in permanently too. At Monaco, the 21-year-old looked out of sorts and struggled for both form and game-time, yet in the Premier League, it seems the increase in tempo aids his game. Tottenham were keen on the Belgian in January, and now that he’s got some Premier League experience other clubs may be sniffing around, however, the Foxes will back themselves to make him theirs in the summer.

And so is the amount of years on his contract if he signs *Cough* *Cough*

if you don’t sign him permanently it will be a travesty. Monaco want Silva, so no brainer really!
