Tielemans pushed about Barcelona, Arsenal rumours

Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans says he won't be unsettled by transfer talk during the World Cup.

Tielemans insists transfer talk won't impede his World Cup dream with Belgium - despite being linked with Barcelona and Arsenal.

Roberto Martinez's men open their campaign in Qatar against Canada on Wednesday.

And Tielamans, 25, should be a key man.

With seven months of his contract left, speculation over his club future seems certain to whip up again in January.

But Belgian newspaper Le Soir report him as saying: “My future at the club doesn't change anything. I don't think about that right now.

"I just try to be the best footballer possible here and help the national team as much as possible."
