Lyon have entered the growing list of suitors for Anderlecht midfield prodigy Youri Tielemans ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 19-year-old midfielder’s future has been the subject of much discussion over the last couple of seasons as most observers expect the Belgian to leave Anderlecht for a bigger club soon.
Everton, Liverpool and Chelsea are interested in taking him to England in the summer but Monaco have reportedly moved ahead in the chase for the midfielder and are in pole position to sign him.
However, according to French sports daily L’Equipe, Lyon are also ready to make their presence felt in the chase for Tielemans and the player is ready to consider an offer from the Ligue 1 outfit.
Despite his tender years, Tielemans has already notched up more than 170 appearances for Anderlecht and has also impressed with his performances in the Champions League.

Anderlecht have been confident of holding on to the midfielder for one more season but they are also aware that they might struggle to knock back a big money offer in the summer.
Tielemans wants to continue to play regular first team football going forward and it is expected to be the key consideration when he studies the offers for him at the end of the season.
His current contract with Anderlecht expires in 2020.
