The report claims the Foxes are set to hot up their pursuit of the Belgium midfielder before the end of the transfer window.
There's less than a week to go now, but Claude Puel is thought to be desperate to add a new midfielder before the window slams shut.
Tielemans has scored five times in 20 starts for Monaco this season in Ligue 1.
Monaco look set to hold out for a decent fee for their midfielder, though, with the French side looking for around £20m.
