Leicester City are on the brink of signing AS Monaco midfielder Youri Tielemans.

The Belgium international, reports HLN, is set to move to Leicester in a €45m deal.

ASM had been pushing for €50m, while the Foxes offerd €40m for Tielemans last week - and a compromise was reached over the weekend.

While final details still need to be settled, both clubs have acknowledged Tielemans is returning to England after last season's successful six month spell.

Tielemans has given his word to Leicester and a four-year contract is now ready to be signed.
