Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans says Belgium teammate Kevin De Bruyne is the Premier League's best midfielder.

Tielemans has enjoyed a successful debut campaign with the Foxes, and says Manchester City star De Bruyne has had an influence on his game.

"At the minute, we have a lot of very good midfielders in the game and I just try and pick all the positives from all the midfielders around," Tielemans told the Athletic.

"I really try and improve myself through watching others play. So, when I see another player playing I'm like, 'Oh yeah, that's something I need to improve' and then I'm trying it in a training session.

"At the moment, I think the best in the Premier League is De Bruyne. He just stands out. He is the complete midfielder. He is physical and runs a lot.

"Technically, he keeps it very, very easy. Tactically, he is very good as well. He's got everything."
