Brendan Rodgers Admits He Would 'Love' to Have Monaco Loanee Youri Tielemans at Leicester Next Year

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has confessed his desire to bring on-loan midfielder Youri Tielemans back to the club next season.

The 21-year-old joined from Ligue 1 giants Monaco in January until the end of the current campaign, with the Foxes deciding not to include an option to buy in the deal. He had underwhelmed at Stade Louis II after joining from Belgian outfit Anderlecht for €25m two years ago. However, Tielemans has been reborn since moving to Leicester, showcasing an exquisite skill-set and impressing onlookers.

The playmaker has made a remarkable start to life in the Premier League despite question marks over his form for the French club earlier in the year.
