Leicester City have signed Monaco midfielder Youri Tielemans on loan for the rest of the season, confirming the move on transfer deadline day.

In a generally quiet deadline day, Tielemans arrives at the King Power Stadium with Adrien Silva moving in the opposite direction.

Tielemans, a Belgian international, spent the first four years of his career at Anderlecht, joining Monaco in 2017, making 47 appearances for the club.

He said he was delighted to be moving to the Premier League, adding: "The Premier League is one of the best leagues in the world and when I was young, I always watched Premier League games."

Silva leaves Leicester having been out of the first team picture, making just one Premier League appearance this season.

Tielemans could make his debut on Sunday when Leicester are at home to Manchester United. The Foxes are 12/5 for the win with United 1/1 and the draw 13/5.

Leicester are 1/2 to finish the season in the top half of the Premier League while they are 50/1 to make the top six.

In other deals Swansea's Wilfried Bony has joined Qatari side Al Arabi on loan for the rest of the season. The striker, who has had two spells at the Liberty Stadium, sees his Swans contract expire at the end of the season.

Brighton have signed a couple of youngsters before the deadline. Striker Jan Mlakar joins from Solvenian side NK Maribor with midfielder Tudor-Cristian Baluta coming in from Romanian FC Viitorul Constanta.

Both have returned to their original clubs on loan for the rest of the season, joining the Seagulls permanently in the summer.

A possible late deal involves Michy Batshuayi joining Crystal Palace on loan for the rest of the season, though it is yet to be confirmed. The striker, who had a successful loan spell with Borussia Dortmund last season, has spent the first half of this campaign at Valencia where he has scored one goal in 15 appearances.

Also, Fulham have signed Hoffenheim's Havard Nordtveit on loan for the rest of the season.
