COMMENTARY
Tottenham fans are understandably desperate to see their side make a signing of any sort this month after nearly two whole transfer windows without seeing any action and the prospect of getting AS Monaco’s Youri Tielemans has sent their desperation into overdrive. TEAMtalk have claimed that Spurs are tracking the Belgian 21-year-old midfielder although much of the talk on Monday was about Leicester City and a potential £20million move for his capture, which has got much of the Tottenham faithful irate as they believe he would be a perfect signing for their side. Considering their lack of midfielders they might well have a point, Tielemans ticking a lot of boxes in terms of his quality, potential and experience, having played in the Champions League and for his country 19 times – a feat not to be scoffed at when you consider that is a Belgium side brimming with talent. No wonder the Spurs supporters are so desperate to see him snapped up, especially for what many would deem to be a bargain of £20million. Will a deal get done? That remains to be seen, but you know the Lilywhite half of north London would be bouncing if it was based on these tweets:

Horrid campaign for him this year but there is still a gem there, still only 21. Would be an absolute steal. #Tielemans #THFC https://t.co/rfAkGrBRG3

Leicester in talks with Yuri Tielemans for £20 mil.
FFS. He is the type of player @SpursOfficial are screaming out for. A young, mega talented cmf with the world at his feet.I need to stop caring about Spurs. Every day they frustrate me#TransferCentre #thfc #Tottenham #spurs

Not sure about Youri Tielemans from Monaco. Seems to be the right fit as a Dembele replacement with the right price for us. Really something #THFC #COYS should look to hijack.

If today's news is true & Leicester are in for #Tielemans at 20mil, then that is exactly the sort of player we should move for.
Young, UCL & international experience AND a position we need. Exactly the sort of player I see in our side – probably why it won't happen #COYS #THFC— FGZ (@wrighty_84) January 28, 2019
