Aston Villa have announced the signing of former Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans.
Speculation regarding the Belgian’s future circulated throughout the season and, following relegation, a departure seemed inevitable. Tielemans confirmed via Instagram a fortnight ago that he would leave the King Power Stadium after four years.
Liverpool were one of several Premier League clubs linked with the 26-year-old due to Jurgen Klopp’s ongoing midfield rebuild. Reports suggested the Reds were considering an approach as a cheap alternative to other targets.
