Leicester still hope to persuade Youri Tielemans to sign a new contract with the club to end the risk of losing him on a free transfer next summer.
The Belgium midfielder’s current deal expires at the end of the campaign and though an offer has been on the table for much more than a year, he has still to commit himself to the club.
Arsenal were interested last summer but never made a firm bid as Leicester valued the 25-year-old at £25million.


Tielemans has returned to form in recent weeks and Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers praised him for his recent contributions.
