Alasdair Gold has claimed on his YouTube channel that Tottenham Hotspur are not interested in signing Youri Tielemans.

Tottenham have already strengthened their midfield department by bringing in the Premier League-proven Yves Bissouma, who will join the likes of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Oliver Skipp and Rodrigo Bentancur in that area of the pitch.

However, they have still been linked with a move for another midfielder in the form of Tielemans, who has just one year left to run on his contract at Leicester City – although Gold has now poured cold water on those links.

Gold doesn’t believe that Spurs hold an interest in Tielemans this summer.

Will Spurs regret not signing Tielemans?

Yes!

Yes!

No!

No!

He said: “The club really distancing themselves, anyone that I’ve spoken to at the club has just said no – no truth in that one.

“He’s a player that Spurs have looked at in the past, definitely, I know they have. But maybe in terms of this summer at this moment in time, not a potential target they are looking at.”

TIF Thoughts on Tielemans…

It’s no surprise that some reports have put Spurs’ name alongside Tielemans’ because they certainly have money to spend this summer and are looking to build something special under Antonio Conte.

Tielemans is said to want European football and has interest from several teams in the Premier League, but despite his price tag only reportedly being around £25m, Tottenham not being interested may be a bit of a shock given his experience in the top flight and on the international scene.
