"Leicester City" and "Monaco" clubs have exchanged players for half a season - promising midfielder Youri Tielemans is coming to the Premier League, while his place in "Monaco" will be taken by Adrien Silva.
Both players will play for their new clubs at least until the end of this season.
Y. Tielemans joined "Monaco" in the summer of 2017. During that time, he managed to play 65 matches and score six goals. This season, just like for the whole Monaco team, the game did not go according to the perfect scenario.
The 21-year-old midfielder was being pursued by other English clubs as well, but "Leicester" had their weapon - Portuguese A. Silva.
Also joining the "foxes" in 2017, the midfielder failed to live up to the expectations placed on him and played only three matches this season.
Prior to that, Silva spent most of his career at Lisbon's "Sporting" club.
