'We’ll see' - Youri Tielemans makes Leicester City contract admission amid Liverpool transfer links

Youri Tielemans has hinted that he could commit his future to Leicester City amid continued transfer speculation about a move to Liverpool.

The Reds have been tipped to sign Belgium international over the past year with Manchester United and Arsenal also being linked.

Tielemans’ current contract at the King Power is set to expire in 2023 and he is yet to put pen-to-paper on a new deal.

However, that hasn’t stopped the midfielder hinting that his future lies at the Midlands club as his current environment is 'perfect' place for him to win trophies.

When asked if he wanted to remain at Leicester, Tielemans said : "Yes, why not?

"This is a club where you have the best environment you can have, especially with this new training ground. The people around you just want the best for you.

"It’s brilliant to be here. I really like it here. We’ll see what’s coming in the future.

"But I think the environment is just perfect to win trophies here. You can’t predict the future but I think everything around the club and inside the club is made for it."

Speaking on Tielemans’ situation back in February, Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers said : “He hasn’t declined [a new deal]. For me his position is exactly the same as what it was.

“He’s a fantastic player and there’s been no movement whatsoever, he’s a player who has continued to work and is working well.

“Till the last day he’s here whether that’s at the end of the contract or summer or beyond that, he will always give his best because he’s a top professional and he showed his commitment today.

“There’s interest trying to be generated by other people.”
