YOURI TIELEMANS is desperate to copy Belgium pal Kevin de Bruyne and win more major trophies.
The Leicester midfield ace, who is a £25million summer target for Arsenal, got his hands on the FA Cup in 2021 by scoring the Wembley winner over Chelsea.
Tielemans refused to add more fuel to the talk of a switch to the Gunners but the 25-year-old admits he has his eyes on claiming more domestic silverware – just like KDB – who has won ten titles with Manchester City.
Tielemans said: “Every player wants that. That is just natural when you are in the game, you want to win trophies.
“That is the best feeling to win trophies. Obviously every player would say the same, definitely.”
Tielemans showed just why Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has made him a transfer target when he coolly stroked home Belgium’s opener in the 1-1 Nations League draw with Wales on Saturday night.

When asked for an update on his future, Tielemans, who has one year left on his Foxes contract, added: “No sorry. I have expressed myself on that before and there is nothing new. I don’t think this is the moment and place to discuss that.”
Tielemans will be part of the Red Devils’ squad against Poland on Tuesday before he starts his holidays. He said: “We have so many games that we need breaks.”
But Tielemans, who scored seven goals for Leicester last season, wants to add more goals to his game after netting for Belgium for the fifth time.
He added: “It was a really good goal from a great combination. If I can add more goals to my game then of course it will help the team more and I will be happy.

“With the national team we always play with a different system than we play at Leicester.
“It is different and adapting myself. I just need to adapt tactically. The manager has asked me to try and join in the attacks sometimes when I feel I can do that.
“Playing for your country is the best thing that can happen to you. It means you are doing well and representing your country. It is the best feeling ever.”
Will anything top that FA Cup goal? Tielemans replied: “Hopefully I have still got a bit more years ahead of me so maybe there will be another one that will come. But at the moment that is the best one.”
