Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has praised Youri Tielemans over his approach.

Off contract in June, Tielemans is being linked with Arsenal and Liverpool.

"He's never wavered from his mentality and what he gives to the team. He provides the team with knowhow in the game; he is wonderful to work with.
