Leicester boss Rodgers hopes to keep Tielemans

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers admits he'd like to keep Youri Tielemans.

The Belgian's contract is also coming towards its final year, but Rodgers is not about to entertain losing one of his key men.

“We want to keep as many of the core players as we can, and Youri would come into that, but that is not down to ourselves, that is a two way thing," the Leicester manager said.

“The club needs a dose of hunger, but any team would want that.

“We have had fantastic signings come in, but you need to reintroduce hunger with some fresh signings, and quality.

“That will be our challenge in the summer, especially when there are clubs with more money."
