LEICESTER CITY HAVE completed the loan signing of Youri Tielemans from Monaco, who have brought in Adrien Silva as part of the deal.
Tielemans joined Monaco from Anderlecht in 2017 but has struggled to fulfil his undoubted potential, while Silva has been unable to break through for Leicester.
Silva played under Leonardo Jardim at Sporting CP and will be reunited with his old boss at Stade Louis II.
“I am very happy to join Monaco,” Silva told the club’s official website. “I look forward to meeting my team-mates, and doing my best to help the club reverse the situation.”

Belgium international Tielemans, meanwhile, is keen to get started after joining the Foxes, with both players switching clubs for the rest of the season.
“I’m really excited to get going,” the 21-year-old told Leicester’s website.
“The Premier League is one of the best leagues in the world and when I was young, I always watched Premier League games. I’m really happy to be here and I’m excited to get started.
“It’s a big family. Everybody is really kind and really good with me. I think it will be really good here.”

Joke. Was a coming together and no one got hurt. Has set a precedent for the year ahead
@Frank Barry: Precedent and the GAA don’t go in the same sentence.
@Bungee Aky: just did for you
Wrong decision .. Should be playing
He tackled him high and caught him around the head. Not much in it but by the letter of the law it’s a red card.
Paudie Maher’s reaction probably didn’t kelp Kelly either.
That’s a disgrace. Paudie Maher made an absolute meal of it. He did a neymar on it. It annoys me because he is one of the best backs around
First time live thought it was harsh. Saw recording, I can see where they’re coming from. He led with the arm into the helmet.
Good news for Kilkenny
Players need to learn you must at least try and play the ball not take out the man correct decision on every level rugby tackles need to be kept for the six Nations
You wouldn’t get a penalty for that challenge. Fair enough if they are going to cut out so called high challenges in the league but there will be many more of these challenges that will go even unpunished for they league. They referring is so unpredictable. One rule for one is not they same for another one
