Leicester City have signed Belgium international Youri Tielemans from Monaco on a permanent basis following his impressive spell on loan last season.
Tielemans has put pen to paper on a four-year contract for what is reported to be a club-record deal worth in the region of £40million.
The 22-year-old spent the second half of last season at the King Power Stadium, playing a direct part in seven goals in 13 Premier League appearances, scoring three times along with four assists.
Brendan Rodgers declared Leicester would do everything possible to land the midfielder, who also attracted rumoured interest from Manchester United and Tottenham.

Goalkeeper Angus Gunn, captain Andrew Robertson, plus fellow defenders Kieran Tierney and Aaron Hickey – all of whom have been regular starters when fit – miss out through injury.
Verona left-back Doig earned a maiden call-up from Steve Clarke a year past September but is yet to win his first cap.

Carlo Ancelotti believes Real Madrid are in a better position than at the start of their double-winning campaign last year, although he does not see any favourites for the Champions League at this early stage.
Madrid won LaLiga and the Champions League in 2021-22 after signing David Alaba on a free transfer and Eduardo Camavinga from Rennes.
Los Blancos transfer activity has been similar again this year, bringing in Antonio Rudiger in defence and Aurelien Tchouameni in midfield.
But Madrid are also playing with the confidence of having achieved great success last season, starting the new campaign with a Super Cup win over Eintracht Frankfurt and three straight LaLiga victories.
I think we re in a better position at the start of this season because of all…
