Leicester cannot afford to lose midfielder Youri Tielemans following dominant display in Wolves win

Brendan Rodgers spent a good chunk of the summer making a plan to extend Jamie Vardy's career, but there is another player the Leicester boss really cannot afford to lose.

Youri Tielemans scored the winner in May as Leicester beat Chelsea to win the FA Cup for the first time, a fitting climax to an outstanding season for the Belgium midfielder.

The 24-year-old was not at his best at Euro 2020 but on the evidence of their opening-day win over Wolves, he has picked up exactly where he left off for Leicester.
