Brendan Rodgers is hopeful Youri Tielemans will be convinced to sign a new contract at Leicester City. Newcastle United are one of a host of sides linked to the Belgian international who is set to become a free agent next summer.
Tielemans has resisted extending his contract at the King Power Stadium for the last two years, and the midfielder is expected to seal a lucrative free transfer in the summer. Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham have all been credited with an interest in the 25-year-old.
January provides the final opportunity for Leicester to recoup any cash from a potential sale. Newcastle were tipped to make a move in the closing days of the summer window, but the club-record deal for Alexander Isak proved to be the Magpies final incoming of the window.
