# Tottenham Hotspur: The Times share fresh Youri Tielemans transfer news

**Tottenham Hotspur now also want to sign Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans while they weigh a move for Christian Eriksen as fresh transfer news emerges.**

### The Lowdown: Lilywhites enter Eriksen chase…

Links to their former superstar playmaker have been prevalent in the last few weeks as Tottenham reportedly eye a move to re-sign Eriksen on a free summer deal.

[90min](https://www.90min.com/posts/christian-eriksen-brentford-face-battle-keep-midfielder-tottenham-interested) recently claimed that Tottenham are interested in a move for the 30-year-old, as did reliable iNews correspondent [Mark Douglas](https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/christian-eriksen-tottenham-transfer-news-spurs-antonio-conte-brentford-1560179), with big name source [The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/harry-kane-set-to-stay-at-tottenham-as-club-consider-move-to-re-sign-christian-eriksen-8k9gqnlf0#) also backing these reports.

Journalist Gary Jacob, making a [Tuesday night claim,](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/harry-kane-set-to-stay-at-tottenham-as-club-consider-move-to-re-sign-christian-eriksen-8k9gqnlf0#) says Spurs are weighing a move for Eriksen but, as per his information, he isn’t the only midfielder on their radar.

### The Latest: Paratici eyes Tielemans move…

Writing for [The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/harry-kane-set-to-stay-at-tottenham-as-club-consider-move-to-re-sign-christian-eriksen-8k9gqnlf0#), he claims that Spurs want to sign Leicester’s star midfielder as they keep tabs on his situation.

He comes as a fellow target alongside Eriksen, with Tielemans about to enter the last year of his contract at the King Power Stadium, potentially putting Paratici and co in a strong position to move.

### The Verdict: Good candidate…

While Eriksen on a free could come as the more romantic move, certainly amid supporters at least, you cannot rule out Tielemans as a good candidate to strengthen Antonio Conte’s midfield options.

The 24-year-old, who wants to play in the Champions League as Spurs compete for a place there next season, has been lavished as ‘[one of Europe’s top midfielders](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10108967/Leicester-boss-Brendan-Rodgers-calls-Youri-Tielemans-one-Europes-midfielders.html)‘ by Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers this season.

In another promising claim, Leicester could let him go this summer for as little as £35 million, coming after they demanded as much as £60m last year ([Het Nieuwsblad](https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20220209_96480030) via[The Metro](https://metro.co.uk/2022/02/10/leicester-city-reduce-asking-price-for-arsenal-and-man-utd-to-sign-youri-tielemans-16083647/)).

Amid this £25m drop in price, it’s little wonder Spurs are now eyeing a move.
