’10-year contract’, ‘what a baller’: Some Leicester fans rave about £33k-a-week man’s display last night
A number of Leicester City fans have taken to Twitter to praise Youri Tielemans’ match-winning display for Brendan Rodgers’ Foxes.
The 23-year-old has been superb for Leicester since his initial loan move in 2019, since turned into a permanent deal for a reported £40million.
To date, Tielemans has clocked up 88 competitive appearances for the Foxes, registering an impressive 14 goals and 17 assists in blue.
This season, the Belgium international has made 31 appearances in all competitions, scoring six times and registering four assists.
Tielemans’ latest goal contribution came in Wednesday night’s FA Cup fifth-round victory over Brighton, delivering a perfect cross for Kelechi Iheanacho to head home late on.
As well as his assist, the ace looked bright throughout, grew in influence as the game went on, and his quick thinking culminated in the winner.
Here is what some Leicester fans on social media were saying about Tielemans’ display on the night:
Great play from Tielemans

Tielemans. Quality.

Get in! What a cross from Tielemans!
— Simon Spence (@spence_simon)
It was a moment of incredible thinking/quality from Tielemans to find Iheanacho for the goal – which had been absent for the entirety of the game. did defend astutely, aside from a couple of moments – often when Zeqiri, Tau, & Lallana combined in the final third.

Get big Wilf & Tielemans on a ten year contract with a buyout clause of £200mil minimum. They’re ridiculous
— Dan Earley (@DJ_Earley)
Tielemans’ current deal expires in the summer of 2023 and, according to the , the Foxes are keen to tie him to a new one, potentially worth about £100,000 a week.
Rodgers admitted earlier this month that he’d be “very keen” for the player to extend his contract, telling the : “He’s a joy to work with”.
