'He'll want to go': Ex-PL player Kevin Phillips claims Liverpool move would be desirable prospect for Tielemans

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Phillips said: “I think everyone is available for the right price.

“I don’t think Brendan Rodgers would want Tielemans to go but I think when Liverpool come knocking at your door and speak to your agent, then the player is going to listen and is probably going to want to go.

“Especially now that Leicester won’t be getting Champions League football next year after just missing out while Liverpool have, that’s a big, big draw for any player.

“So if Liverpool were to make enquiries and make an offer then it could be one of those where it’s hard to stop the player going and turn the deal down, so it will be an interesting one.”

Tielemans would prove to be an excellent replacement for the departing Gini Wijnaldum, with the only issue being price. After another stellar campaign, Leicester are likely to slap a price tag above £50m on the midfielder.
