Speaking to Sky Sports, Youri Tielemans has offered a fresh insight into his future, revealing how flattered he is by the interest shown from some of the top clubs in the Premier League.

What's he said?

After switching Monaco for a temporary stay at Leicester in January, Tielemans' future having returned to the Ligue 1 club is still uncertain.

Back in April Tottenham showed an interest in the Belgian but now Manchester United have also joined the race, per The Independent.

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has declared in the past that the club would try to do everything they can to sign the youngster but more recent developments show they've been put off by his £40m price tag.

However, the 22-year-old has now offered a fresh update on his future. Telling Sky Sports what he thought about his future and the interest in him, he said:

"We'll see which club it will be. The only thing I can say is things are moving. A lot of clubs have shown interest. We will see in the next few weeks who it will be.

"Yes [I am flattered by Man Utd and Spurs interest], they are really big teams in England and in Europe. To hear those names gives me confidence."

Between the lines

Reading this statement, it doesn't particularly convince that Leicester will be Tielemans' next permanent club.

Following these comments and the fact the club have already been put off by his valuation, things don't appear to be moving in the right way for the Midlands outfit.

With the midfielder revealing how flattered he is to be in the minds of some big clubs, it wouldn't be a great surprise if he does end up choosing one of those teams over the Foxes.

The creative Belgian was brilliant for Leicester and looked as though he thoroughly enjoyed his spell.

However, the level of performance that he displayed shows he could quite easily play for a number of teams in the top six.

In 13 Premier League matches he displayed tremendous consistency, scoring three and picking up four assists.

Judging by how things are playing out, it may take some convincing for Tielemans to arrive back in the Midlands.
