Leicester City will not be able to stop Youri Tielemans departing for Liverpool.

That is the view of former striker Kevin Phillips, who spoke with Football Insider about the matter.

Tielemans, who was excellent as the Foxes won the FA Cup against Chelsea in May, was linked to Liverpool by Belgian outlet Het Nieuwsblad.

“I think everyone is available for the right price," Phillips told Football Insider's Dylan Childs.

“I don't think Brendan Rodgers would want Tielemans to go but I think when Liverpool come knocking at your door and speak to your agent, then the player is going to listen and is probably going to want to go.

“Especially now that Leicester won't be getting Champions League football next year after just missing out while Liverpool have, that's a big, big draw for any player.

“So if Liverpool were to make enquiries and make an offer then it could be one of those where it's hard to stop the player going and turn the deal down, so it will be an interesting one."
