AS Monaco have become the breeding ground for some of the best talents on the planet. In the last two years, they’ve sold players like Anthony Martial, Bernardo Silva, Tiémoué Bakayoko and Benjamin Mendy for huge profits after signing them at very young ages for nominal fees.

One of Monaco’s recent acquisitions, Youri Tielemans, cost the club much more than the players mentioned above but the Belgian is well worth the money. During his time with Anderlecht, he was named Belgian Young Professional Footballer of the Year twice, the Belgian Professional Footballer of the Year in 2017 and in the UEFA Europa League Squad of the Season for 2016-17.

The 20-year-old was on the radar of many top clubs but he opted to join a club where he will get regular playing time and also the chance to grow as a player.

Following the departure of Bakayoko to Chelsea, a spot opens up in midfield at Monaco and Tielemans will have no trouble making it his.
