​Tielemans loves playing with Leicester veteran Vardy

Leicester City loanee Youri Tielemans is having no troubles adjusting to playing with Jamie Vardy.

The defensive midfielder has struck up a good relationship with the striker, despite having only recently arrived at the club.

The Monaco man arrived in a loan swap with Adrien Silva. And the 22-year-old enjoys the attacking runs that Vardy makes in transition.

"In France, it's a pretty physical game, quite static," he told LeVif in Belgium.

"In England, it moves all the time, there are a lot of spaces and I have the chance to have an attacker (Vardy) who plunges into all the spaces, as soon as there is an opening you can be sure that he is there.

"It is very easy to play with this type of player.

"I only have to slide the ball...We play with a fairly offensive system with a defensive midfielder and two attacking midfielders, and the fact that I play higher gives me more freedom.

"I feel that I have more space to express myself, to make the last pass or have a shot."
