Rodgers: Tielemans is one of 'Europe's top midfielders'

Both Bayern Munich and Liverpool have been linked with a move for the 24-year-old Belgium international, whose contract with Leicester expires in 2023. Tielemans' representatives are in talks with the club. The midfielder has been in fine form, scoring spectacular long-range goals in Leicester's back-to-back Premier League wins over Manchester United and Brentford.

"I think he's progressing well, he's doing very well," Rodgers said on Friday. "He came in January 2019 and he has progressed into one of Europe's top midfielders. He's only going to get better. An incredible professional."

The former Liverpool boss added: "His mindset is to work at the highest level. He's progressing and that's what you want to see in your players.... He's one of the best professionals I've ever worked with".
