It was reported earlier this month that Monaco were the frontrunners and had an 'agreement in principle' to sign him this summer.

Further news came out today that Tielemans was undergoing his medical ahead of the transfer.


And rest assured Monaco then confirmed the deal was done and dusted, with Tielemans penning a five-year deal with the Ligue One winners.


Earlier today, Mohamed Boufasi from RMC Sport reported that Tielemans had turned down Manchester United, instead choosing Monaco as the next step in his development.


Tielemans scored an impressive 18 goals from midfield in 2016/17, while the youngster also managed to rack up an impressive 15 assists in all competitions, as well as featuring in Europa League ties against Manchester United, among others.

What a signing.
