Youri Tielemans gives a message to Leicester fans after confirming his free transfer exit.
Youri Tielemans has written a message to Leicester City fans after confirming his free move from the relegated Premier League team.
The Belgium international midfielder has long been linked with Arsenal, with Newcastle United also rumored to be interested.
Leicester will play in the Championship next season, and Tielemans will soon be free to negotiate contracts with Arsenal, Newcastle, and other clubs interested in him.
‘Dear Leicester City fans, I’m bidding farewell to this amazing club after four and a half special years,’ he said. Tielemans made the announcement on Wednesday, with his contract set to expire at the end of June.
‘Your warmth and passion engulfed me from the moment I stepped foot on this ground. Victory and triumph, love, hope, and even defeat are all possible outcomes.
‘We’ve had a lot of memorable moments together. I will be eternally grateful for your steadfast support.
‘I’d want to thank Khun Top, the board, the staff, the players, and the fans for providing a home for me and my family.
‘This is a heartfelt farewell, not a goodbye. With gratitude, love, and pride. Tielemans, Youri.’
James Maddison, who is desired by Arsenal, Newcastle, and Tottenham, is also expected to leave Leicester this summer.
