Both Arsenal and Manchester United are keen on signing Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans.
The Belgian international will have just a year left on his contract at the King Power Stadium in the summer, and, although they would love him to stay, he is unwilling to commit his future to them.
Instead, he has admitted that he wants to play in the Champions League, and also one with ambitions of challenging for the League title.
Realising that their chances of getting him to sign a new deal are becoming increasingly less likely, Leicester are prepared to listen to offers of around £35 million when the transfer window opens, but the ability to offer Tielemans Champions League football next season may be a determining factor as to where he ends up.
Tottenham, Manchester United, West Ham and Arsenal would appear to be the main contenders for the last top four spot heading into the business end of the season.
