Genk technical director Dimitri De Conde has warned Leicester City that new signing Timothy Castagne won't be staying for long.

The Belgium fullback joined the Foxes this week from Serie A high-flyers Atalanta.

De Conde said: "In modern football there are not many players who can bring what he can.

"He's reliable. He has a good basic technique, seldom gives away his position, does not lose the ball. Meunier is also an excellent player, but because Timothy was trained as a defender, he is more stable defensively.

“I found it more difficult to estimate whether Tielemans would live up to it at Leicester at that high pace. He did it.

“With Timothy, I know he will stand out at Leicester. He can become one of the best fullbacks in the Premier League. And then move on to clubs like Arsenal or Manchester United."
