Newcastle United are reportedly interested in signing Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans.
According to a Daily Mail report, the 25-year-old midfielder is on Newcastle’s radar as they look to bring in midfield reinforcements in the upcoming window.
Jonjo Shelvey has been linked with a move away from Newcastle after falling down the pecking order under Eddie Howe. The Magpies will have to properly replace him if he decides to move on in search of regular playing time.
Tielemans is one of the best midfielders in the league and could be available at a reasonable price next month.
The Belgium international will be a free agent in the summer and Leicester will not want to lose him on a free loan. The Foxes could look to cash in on the player when the transfer window opens in January and Newcastle could take advantage of him at a bargain.
Los Urracas have an ambitious project on their hands and are currently second in the league table. Tielemans could be attracted to the idea of ​​joining them and it will be interesting to see how the situation plays out.

Newcastle already have a top-class midfielder in Bruno Guimaraes, but they are missing a controller like Tielemans, who can sit deep and control the pace of the game. He will add serenity in the midfield and the Belgian is capable of intervening with the occasional goal from long distance.
The player hasn’t peaked yet and will likely get better with experience. His signing could prove to be a long-term bargain for the Magpies.
