ꦗLiverpool have been linked with Belgium international midfielder Youri Tielemans in recent weeks.

James Pearce told♊ the podcast two weeks ago that the Reds signing the Leicester City ace is a “possibility”.

꧃Meanwhile, Graeme Bailey has told the latest podcast episode that Liverpool love Tielemans.

🎀Liverpool are in dire need of bolstering their midfield ranks this summer amid ageing legs and expiring contracts.

♛Meanwhile, Tielemans’ time at Leicester is coming to an end, and sadly it’s not on a high note.

ඣThe 26-year-old was unable to help the Foxes stay up in the Premier League at the end of a difficult season.

꧅In addition, Tielemans’ contract is up in the summer, and the player himself has now confirmed he is indeed leaving.

ﷺThe Belgian took to Instagram with a heartfelt post for the club’s fans.

ღIt’s a shame that Tielemans’ time at Leicester is ending on such a low note, considering all he has done for the club.

ꦯHe helped the Foxes win the FA Cup in 2021 by scoring an outstanding long-range winner against Chelsea.

ꦏLater on that year, Brendan Rodgers Tielemans “one of Europe’s best midfielders”.

ꦚLiverpool have twice struck gold with players from relegated clubs in recent years.

🗹Georginio Wijnaldum shone after joining from Newcastle, while former Hull ace Andrew Robertson remains a key player at Anfield.

✤With that in mind, Liverpool should certainly look to make a move for Tielemans.

🎐If Jurgen Klopp can get him back to his best, what a bargain he would be.
