This expenditure unfortunately exposed ‘YT’s’ somewhat lack of mobility in the middle of the park. With all this being said, losing him will be a massive blow for next season’s push to make it back into to European football. Moving to what would seem to be a direct rival for a bargain price could be a determining factor in in this conquest.
The rise of this year’s club Player’s Player and Young Player of the Year Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has made the eminent departure of Tielemans slightly easier. Yet we are still losing a player with bundles of quality when given the proper role in a two-man pivot. The price we will be forced to sell him at means it is very unlikely the King Power side shall find a player with an equal level of ability and production for that amount of money.
Leicester City must use this situation as a learning curve and not allow their elite, sought after talent to enter the last year of their deal. Because it results in a club, who tend to conduct excellent transfer business, lose such players for massively reduced fees.
