Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign Youri Tielemans. The former Leicester City midfielder departed the King Power Stadium this summer after his contract expired.

      Not sure why Arsenal didn’t get him in the end. I agree about Ox. Wayy too injury prone over the years.

    As a LCFC fan, he will score some worldies but unless he’s motivated they will not be impressed.

    I think Leicester fans think of him fondly because of how well he started and the FA cup win but since the FA cup he’s been very unmotivated and it says a lot that 2 years ago he was linked to Man U and Real and now he’s at Villa.
