Tielemans is the next potential Belgian star in what is already turning into a golden era for Belgian football with the likes of Vincent Kompany, Thibaut Courtouis, Eden Hazard and many more developing into superstars already.
Despite being just 18 years old Tielemans has already won Belgian young professional of the year on two occasions. He also holds the record for being the youngest Belgian footballer to play in the Champions League making his first appearance at the age of 16 years and 148 days.
An incredibly sure-footed player, Tielemans is confident and assured on the ball and would remind you of Bastian Schweinsteiger's playing style where the simple ball is almost always the best ball. And just like Schweinsteiger he can spray balls with his right or left foot across the pitch with ease.
The young midfielder is a box to box type of player with an ability to snuff out attacks by simply positioning himself well and applying the right amount of pressure. While on the other end of the pitch he picks his moments to join the attack and possesses composure in the final third.
In his first two seasons at Anderlecht he played in 87 games and scored 10 goals. This season he has started off on goalscoring form scoring 3 in the first 6 games.
As always with young hot prospects Tielemans has been linked to big European clubs but there is nothing but paper talk at the moment so the young starlet who extended his contract at the end of last season will remain at Anderlecht for the foreseeable future.
