Monaco have completed the signing of Youri Tielemans from Anderlecht, for a transfer fee believed to be around €23million.
The 20-year-old midfielder had been linked with Manchester United, Inter and Atletico Madrid recently, but the newly-crowned Ligue 1 champions, have won the race for his signature.
Tielemans has now signed a contract with Monaco until June 2022.
“I am thrilled to be a part of this team next year,” he said.
“Monaco are a club with an ambitious project and have a reputation for developing youngsters.
“I have spoken a lot with Yannick Carrasco about Monaco while we were with the national team.
“I am very happy to be here. I am going to do everything within my powers to pay back Monaco for the faith shown in me.”
The Belgium international scored 13 goals in 37 league appearances this season, to help Anderlecht clinch the Belgian title.
