7M - Belgain duo shooting stars - hunted by many giant clubs

Posted Thursday, January 01, 2015 by 7M Sport

As the January window set to open, many giant clubs start to pin their eyes on some talented startlet to strengthen their squads. This week we would introduce Belgain duo shooting stars from Anderlecht - Dennis Praet and Youri Tielemans.

Dennis Praet

This Anderlecht young player is the main force of the Belgian Jupiler League tyrant team - he appeared in the starting line-up many times in their UEFA Champions League adventure. What's more, he presented brilliant attacking flair and scored at a prolific rate in the Belgian Jupiler League. Owing to his excellent foot work and gorgeous finish, and he looks like Dortmund striker Marco Reus, this Belgain rising star is called "Reus Jr.".

Currently Dennis Praet is one of Dortmund's January main persuits. Suffering catastrophic blow - only 4 wins but 10 losses in the Bundesliga, Dortmund saw short of players organizing their 2-end performance. At this moment Dortmund are eager for a midfield who can not only go forward to score but also thighten up the defensive end. Dennis Praet is such kind of player who can handle two ends. According to the newest transfer market statistic, Dennis Praet's price has reached to €8 million.

It's reported that Manchester City and Atletico de Madrid also hunt for this Belgian starlet. With the injury setback of Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko, City's attacking power was drastically reduced. As for Atletico, although they had Fernando Torres back, they still need an extra forward to cooperate with him. Therefore Praet would be a realistic target for Atletico.

Youri Tielemans

Another shinning player at Anderlecht is Youri Tielemans. This youngster is less than 18, but he is also an instant hit on the football pitch. He was in the thick of the action against Dortmund in their Champions League clash. Even Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp knew him in depth and praised his individual capability several times. And Dortmund also want to sign this hot target.

But this would not be an easy case for Dortmund. Currently Youri Tielemans' assessed price is €12 million, and this price may soar to €15 million at lease this summer.

Except for the price ordeal, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Juventus also join this white-hot chase for this young Belgain player.
