Liverpool fans share Youri Tielemans transfer theory

Leicester City completed the signing of Boubakary Soumaré from Lille on Friday in a transfer that prompted speculation among Liverpool fans.

The signed appears to be another shrewd move from ex-Reds boss Brendan Rodgers as he looks to help the Foxes finally break into the Champions League places at the third time of asking.

However, with Leicester further strengthening their midfield department, eagled-eyed Liverpool fans have already started to work out what Soumaré's potential arrival could mean for the future of Leicester City ace and reported Reds target Youri Tielemans.

As Leicester announced the signing on social media, Liverpool fans were quick to compile their theories online, as to what the future could hold for the midfielder who is currently away on international duty at Euro 2020 with Belgium.

Tielemans' performances over the last 18 months have certainly made other Premier League clubs sit up and take note of the midfielder who capped of his stunning 2020/21 campaign with the winning goal in the FA Cup final.

The midfielder originally moved to the King Power on a loan deal from his parent club Monaco in 2018, making his move permanent a year later.

He has made 108 appearances at the heart of the Foxes' midfield, contributing 17 goals and 19 assists in all competitions, with his performances resulting in him being linked with a move to Anfield.
