Leicester to hold talks with FA Cup final hero Youri Tielemans over new contract that would see him become of the Foxes' highest earners with Caglar Soyuncu and Harvey Barnes also in line for new deals

FA Cup hero Youri Tielemans will hold contract talks with Leicester at the end of the season as the Foxes plan another assault on English football’s elite next term.

The Belgium midfielder has been Leicester’s best outfield player this season and crowned a superb campaign with a memorable winner at Wembley as Leicester beat Chelsea 1-0 to lift the Cup for the first time in their 137-year history.

Tielemans has two years left on his contract and a new deal would see him move closer to Jamie Vardy and Kasper Schmeichel at the top of Leicester’s pay league.
