The Belgian international joined Leicester initially on loan from Monaco in January 2019, later making his move permanent in July of that year. He scored 28 goals in 195 appearances throughout all competitions for the club.

He has played in two World Cups, the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup, as well as the 2020 Euros.

Tielemans will join Aston Villa after they finished seventh in the Premier League last season, securing a spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League.
