Brendan Rodgers has insisted Leicester will not be “exploited” as Premier League rivals continue to chase their players. Chelsea intend to test Leicester’s firm stance that Wesley Fofana is not for sale and Newcastle plan likewise with James Maddison, having had a bid rejected last week of about £40m. Rodgers said that “might just cover three-quarters of his left leg”. Newcastle returned on Monday to make a bid of more than £45m for Maddison, with add-ons taking the deal to £50m.
Leicester also expect Arsenal to move for Youri Tielemans but are yet to receive any offers for the Belgium midfielder.
