Yuri Tielemans responds to speculation of transfer between Man Utd and Tottenham

Yuri Tielemans says his future will be settled "in the coming weeks", while the interest of the Premier League for the Belgian international is steadily growing.

The 22-year-old was impressed by the fact that he was on loan to Leicester City for the second half of 2018-19.

Now, the Foxes want to sign a permanent contract with the midfielder valued at £ 40 million, but face significant competition for his signature.

Manchester United and Tottenham are also monitoring his situation. Tielemans is desperate to leave Monaco's parent club for a new permanent home.

The United leaders are considering Tielemans with uncertainty that continues to surround Paul Pogba, while the Spurs keep the same eye, knowing that Christian Eriksen wants to join Real Madrid.

Tielemans remains shy about his future while he is on an international mission, but said progress was being made.

Speaking Saturday ahead of the Belgium qualifier for Euro 2020 with Kazakhstan, he said at a press conference: "We'll see what club it will be. The only thing that I can say, it is that things move.

"Many clubs have shown interest and we will see in which club they will be.

"(Manchester United and Spurs) are very big teams in England and Europe, so yes, it's flattering to hear those names.

"For me, it's good, it gives me confidence. I will just try to play my game in the field and do my best. "

Tielemans enjoyed his lending time at King Power, and Rodgers is eager for him to come back as his former boss, Celtic, is looking to challenge the top six to come.

Tielemans added: "I was very well received in Leicester, things went very fast, but they immediately put me at ease." I felt very good on the field, I had good teammates and good coaches.

"I am grateful to the club for giving me a glimpse of the Premier League.

"I have been pleasantly surprised by the clubs that have contacted my agent and my entourage.In view of the situation of recent weeks, it is unlikely that I return to Monaco.This will then depend on negotiations.

"The January loan was the best solution at that time, I want to be stable now, to be repaired."
