Brendan Rodgers has said that he will “respect” any choice made by Youri Tielemans over his future at Leicester City but would “love” to see him extend his time at the club. Speaking ahead of the Premier League clash vs Arsenal, Rodgers said that the midfielder has still not made a firm decision on his future.
Brendan Rodgers said: “I think the players signing show that we’re heading in the direction that we want to be in, we’re a club that’s competitive at the top end of the league. He’s got a big choice to make at some point, Youri, but as I’ve repetitively said, we’ve no concern with his mentality, we’d love him to stay, we want him to stay, he’s been a massive part of my time here.”
The City boss added that Tielemans will continue to be given time to make his decision.
Brendan Rodgers added: “It’s a real pleasure to work with him and see his progress as well but he has to take his time and decide and if he feels that this is the place for him to be, absolutely brilliant, we’ll be delighted, as will the supporters. But I always respect the choice of a player, as I’ve said many times, as long as they’re committed and give everything and behave as you’d expect then they’ll be no drama on that.”
