Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers hails Youri Tielemans after recalled midfielder sparkles against West Ham amid contract impasse... but he is left frustrated after conceding another late set-piece in draw

Youri Tielemans looks increasingly likely to leave Leicester this summer with no progress made in discussions over a new contract.

The Belgium midfielder was restored to the starting XI for the 2-2 draw with West Ham and equalised with a penalty in the 45th minute before producing a sparkling second-half display.

Although boss Brendan Rodgers said Tielemans had not turned down a new deal, all signs are that he will depart at the end of the campaign as the 24-year-old’s current deal expires in June 2023 – meaning he could leave for free if he were still at Leicester at that stage.
