Youri Tielemans helped Anderlecht reach the last eight of the Europa League where they were knocked out by eventual champions Manchester United

Monaco have signed Belgium's young player of the year Youri Tielemans from Anderlecht for a reported 25m euros (£21.63m).

The midfielder, 20, agreed to a five-year deal with the French champions.

He scored 13 league goals for Anderlecht last season to help them win the Belgian title.

"Monaco is a club with an ambitious project, recognised on the European stage, and which relies on young players," Tielemans said.

"I am very happy to be here. I will now do everything possible to progress here and repay the confidence the club have shown in me."
