Boss Brendan Rodgers admitted afterwards that Leicester “will do everything they possibly can” to sign Tielemans, who would cost a club-record £40million.

And while the Belgian is likely to have top-six suitors, with Manchester United certainly keen, he has given Foxes fans hope by insisting he is loving life at the King Power.

Tielemans, 21, smiled: “I’m feeling the love.

“When you score and you hear your name with the crowd singing ‘Sign him up’, it’s fantastic to play in this atmosphere.

“We’ll see at the end of the season what the future holds.

“I am just enjoying everything here and we’ll see after the next two games.

“I’m doing my very best to play at a high level and I will keep going until the end of the season and finish the two games on a high.”

Tielemans’ goal against the Gunners was a header from James Maddison’s pinpoint cross.

And the Belgium international says he is relishing his partnership with the young England ace.

Tielemans added: “Thanks to Madders I scored the first header of my career.

“The partnership is working really well.

“We know our qualities and we know where we can find ourselves in the final third.”
