Definitely Not An Old Poster
Would much rather have Ndidi than Tielemans. Similar age. People might say Partey and him are too similar but I think both can work if the 4 in front have more freedom.
Phillips may be another good option. Both available for the right price. Chelsea will target rice and I think City with Rodrigo are covered. Liverpool maybe want a DCM as Henderson aging. United need about 3 new midfielders so let's see.
Phillips is one of the best ball winners in Europe and a tidy passer as well. You only need to see the difference between Leeds win rate with and without him in the side. On paper at least it would free up someone like Tielemans or De Jong to take the more creative / attacking role in midfield.
