Brendan Rodgers insists Leicester will “do everything they can” to sign on-loan star Youri Tielemans permanently this summer.
Belgium midfielder Tielemans has excelled at the King Power Stadium since a January switch from Monaco for Adrien Silva, who went the other way.
A summer deal to buy the youngster permanently would cost £40million, but he has hit the ground running at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester fans made their feelings clear as they chanted: “sign him up” after this man-of-the-match display in the 3-0 home win over Arsenal on Sunday.

Tielemans opened the scoring with a fine header for his third Premier League goal to add to four assists in England.
Foxes boss Rodgers said: “He is paid to create and score and he’s doing that very well.
“It’s important that you have players that are hungry to score and Youri has got that.
“He had a great shot as well which was very close. He has shown great efficiency since he was here.

“There will be dialogue between the clubs. He’s clearly a player we would like to work with and I understand the supporters love watching a young player like that.
“I’m sure the club will do everything they possibly can to bring him in.”
