Gary Neville has urged Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham to sign Leicester City’s on-loan midfielder Youri Tielemans.
The 21-year-old joined the Foxes on a temporary deal from Monaco in the January transfer window and has made an impressive impact in the Premier League with three goals and four assists in 11 appearances.
Leicester are keen to permanently sign the Belgium international this summer but Neville has warned Brendan Rodgers that the majority of the Premier League’s top six will be looking to bolster their midfield options ahead of next season.
‘On Tielemans… I think the issue that Leicester will have is that there are midfields in the top six that need strengthening,’ said Neville.
Graeme Souness inferred that Neville was proposing his former club Manchester United by asking: ‘Who are you talking about?’
And Sky Sports host Dave Jones followed up by looking at the Old Trafford pitch and saying: ‘How far away are you looking Gary?’
All three laughed before Neville continued: ‘But there are midfields in the top six that need strengthening.
‘Twenty-one-year-old, available they say for £40m.
‘He’s proved himself in the Premier League, almost like a dress rehearsal at Leicester.
‘Leicester could struggle to keep him because of the fact that other clubs may want him.’
