Leicester City odds on to capture Youri Tielemans despite huge clubs’ interest
According to bookmakers, Leicester City are in pole position to capture Youri Tielemans’ permanent signature in the summer. Regardless of interest from some enormous clubs.
Youri Tielemans has been a catalyst for Leicester City’s reinvention under Brendan Rodgers. Many simply stunning displays, as well as fantastic goals and assists made him a fan favourite. In fact Foxes of Leicester proclaimed the 21-year-old the outlet’s most admired player pretty much instantly.
Hopefully AS Monaco are content with the arrival and output of Leicester loanee Adrien Silva, and that the Portuguese can facilitate a lower cost from the touted £40-50 million price tag on the exemplary midfield man. In which case the Foxes would happily welcome a full-time Tielemans at King Power Stadium.
Sky Sports‘ transfer specials showcase the likelihood of the game’s best talents joining specific clubs. Here are the Belgian’s odds of transferring as speculated by the media giant’s bookmaker:
"Leicester 6/4Manchester Utd 6/1Arsenal 8/1Tottenham 10/1PSG 12/1Manchester City 18/1Via Sky bet"
It has been alleged that Sky may have manipulated odds, scenarios or sources to increase betting. For example, if a supposed undisclosed source of information suggests a player will move and Sky Sports News report it, there may be a lower price for betting leading to a flurry. Subsequently, in eventuality, nothing comes of the reports and market fluctuations.
Most noteworthy is the fact there has been no proof or legal investigation of this estimation of Sky’s guilt. Though it’s worth considering all factors when separating from your hard-earned money.
