ANDERLECHT youngster Youri Tielemans could be on his way to AS Monaco in the summer, with the Ligue 1 side the latest club to join the race for his services.
Chelsea, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Marseille are all thought to be keen on putting down an offer for the Belgian midfielder.
Tielemans has caught the eye of leading clubs throughout Europe in recent months after scoring 18 goals and delivering 11 assists in 43 games.
The player has been one of the most hyped players in world football since he broke into Anderlecht's first-team aged just 16.
It's thought the 19-year old may be keen on a move to AS Monaco after watching young players like Kylian Mbappe, Thomas Lemar and Bernardo Silva all succeed at the Stade Louis II under Leonardo Jardim.
Speaking in January the club's sporting director Herman van Holsbeeck admitted they are likely to face a struggle to hold on to their emerging star.
"Actually, it's already extraordinary that we have been able to enjoy three seasons of such talent," he said.
"Tielemans is on all lists of most promising young players in Europe. We know he is followed by big clubs."
