Leicester City will do everything to sign Youri Tielemans, says Brendan Rodgers

Brendan Rodgers has delivered the sort of assurances that all Leicester City fans have been looking for, stating that the club will do everything to sign Youri Tielemans on a permanent deal.

Tielemans was at it again against Arsenal, as he added another goal and another awesome performance to his ever-increasing tally at Leicester.

The 21-year old has three goals and five assists in just 11 appearances for the club – the sort of numbers that the faithful hoped to see but never believed that they’ll actually see, not this soon anyway.

Now that the Belgian has shown how much potential he has, there are calls for the club to expedite the process of making his deal permanent.

But that is not as simple as A, B and C, seeing as there’s no clause in his contract that hands Leicester an advantage to begin with. Then there are other factors such as the fee and the big clubs’ interest in him.

Rodgers, however, has reassured the fans that the club will do what it possibly can to bring Tielemans in. He said:

"“There will be dialogue between the clubs.“He’s clearly a player we would like to work with and I understand the fans enjoy watching a player like that.“I’m sure the club will do everything they possibly can to bring him in.“There are things he can’t do but he’s 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.”"

There are only two games before the season ends,  following which Leicester can fully focus on Tielemans.

It is no exaggeration to say that he could end up as one of the club’s most important signings ever, so the Foxes must act quick and act smartly in order to make him their own.

Even if they have to overpay a bit, then they must because he is worth it. Anyone who thinks otherwise is, well, never mind.
