1 Youri Tielemans in action for Anderlecht

Anderlecht have told Everton they will have to cough up more than the £15m Leicester City paid Genk for Wilfred Ndidi if they want to land Youri Tielemans this summer.

The 19-year-old is on the Toffees’ radar ahead of the next transfer window as Ronald Koeman is a big fan of the midfielder’s talents.

However, Everton have now been warned that Tielemans won’t come cheap by Anderlecht’s sporting director, Herman Van Holsbeeck.

Indeed, he has told the Merseyside club they will have to exceed what Leicester paid to tempt Ndidi away from Belgium football back in January.

“It will have to be much more than the €17m (£15m) Genk received for Wilfred Ndidi,” Van Holsbeeck told VTM Nieuws.

“I have a sum in my head but I will not say. Everything depends on the clubs to come. I think a transfer must always be a win-win situation.

“For the player, the club that buys and the club that sells. His entourage has always been correct with us, so we will be right with him.”
