Barca want another Prem free agent — Belgium coach recommends him to Blaugrana

Barcelona are interested in signing Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans, Diario Sport say.

Belgium head coach Roberto Martinez has recommended the 25-year-old to Barcelona sporting director Jordi Cruyff.

Arsenal are also keen on signing Tielemans and will compete with Barca for his signature.

Interestingly, Blaugrana may be prepared to land the Belgium international this winter. They'd have to pay Leicester a fee so it would depend on the Financial Fair Play.

Tielemans would become a free agent in the summer unless he extends his Leicester contract, which doesn't look likely at the moment.
