Leicester City’s relegation to the Championship will prompt plenty of players to leave the Foxes and Youri Tielemans has taken to social media to announce his exit.

The Belgium international is out of contract at the King Power at the end of June and the midfielder is attracting interest from several Premier League clubs.

According to the Birmingham Mail, Aston Villa are strong contenders for Tieleman’s signature as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of playing in Europe next season.

Speaking on The Walk On Podcast this month, The Athletic’s James Pearce stated about a Liverpool move for the Premier League star: “Tielemans I would put in the bracket of being a possibility just because he’s free.”

The Reds are unlikely to make a move for the 26-year-old but it is not out of the equation given that the Merseyside club plan to bring in three midfielders over the summer.
