“I would like to play for Liverpool” -Watch ‘Special’ £45m rated Premier League midfielder Breaks silence on transfer rumours and is now open to Liverpool move and his agent wants Reds to offer new bid

Leicester City and Belgium central midfielder Youri Tielemans is open to the prospect of joining Liverpool.

Liverpool doesn’t typically make rash purchases, but if the transfer window closes without a replacement, they may be compelled to do so.

Tielemans and his agent would welcome Anfield interest as his Foxes contract expires, according to journalist Ben Jacobs, who stated as much on YouTube.

“Jurgen Klopp has said if they do bring in a midfielder it will only be because that name brings in long term quality. Otherwise they will wait,” he said.

“What strikes me is I think Liverpool need to bring in a playmaker, but it is whether that is part of their long-term strategy. There are a variety of midfielders who could be considered by Liverpool.

“One is Youri Tielemans, who would be open to a Liverpool move and I know that because his agent had pushed Liverpool links earlier in windows, particularly in January when the Arsenal links formed.

“Liverpool have always shot down Tielemans links, so if they did move for him, it would be more of a U-turn than a strategy and a lot would depend on the price.”

“Youri is a special player,” said former Leicester captain Wes Morgan. “The amount of work he does, off the field and in the gym and the hours he puts in is the reason why he is producing these magical moments.

“He is always the type of player to be doing extra shooting practice at the end of the game. If you keep working hard like that, then it pays off.

“Now you see the best of him. He wants to add goals to his game. Add assists to his game and he is producing that on a weekly basis.”

If Liverpool decides to enter the market to solve their midfield difficulties, Tielemans might be a desirable option because of his experience and skill on the ball in the Premier League.
