Yuri Tilemans' Leicester City Transfer Follow-Up: Latest News and Updates

Updated:2025-07-30 07:31    Views:193

Leicester City have been heavily linked with the signing of several players this summer, but one name that has come up in particular is Yuri Tielman.

The Russian forward was originally reported to be on the verge of joining the Foxes from Krasnodar for a fee of £25m, but the deal appears to have fallen through.

However, there is still speculation about whether or not Tielman will join the club at some point in the future.

One reason why he may yet make the move to England is because of his close relationship with manager Craig Shakespeare, who he played under at Krasnodar.

Tielman's agent, Stanislav Cherchesov, also seems to have a good relationship with the club, which could help in negotiations.

Another factor could be the fact that Tielman himself has expressed interest in playing in the Premier League.

He told Russian newspaper Sport Express: "I'm interested in the English game. I like the style of play here."

It remains to be seen if Tielman will eventually join Leicester City, but it seems likely that he will continue to be closely followed by fans and media outlets alike.
