​Tielemans delighted with Leicester debut

Youri Tielemans was pleased with his debut for Leicester City.

The Monaco midfielder is on loan at the club until the end of the season, where he is hoping to make an impression.

The 21-year-old Belgian was impressive against Tottenham, even though his side were losers on the day.

"It was special to start here," Tielemans said to reporters after the game.

"It is a mythical stadium and the start was really positive for me and I am really happy about it.

"Unfortunately we lost the game but I am happy about my personal game.

"I think we made some good moves and created some good chances. In the next game we just need to finish them to try to take the three points but I think at the end we can be positive about our performances. We just need to take our chances.

"It is a young team but I have gained a lot of experience in my young career and I hope I can play a lot of games in the next few years. But I hope I will be fine for the next few games."
