Leicester boss, Brendan Rodgers, hinted that he was interested in the permanent signing of Yuri Tielemans in Monaco.
The 21-year-old midfielder is on loan to King Power Stadium until the end of the season. joined the Foxes in January in an exchange agreement that saw Adrien Silva move temporarily in the other direction.
Tielemans impressed during his short stint in the Premier League, scoring a goal and providing four badists in seven games.
"It's always difficult because he's a Monaco player. I'm sure there will be discussions between the clubs. It's an exceptional talent, "said Rodgers.
"He's starting to improve his fitness, having not played a lot in Monaco earlier in the season.
"I think you can see that he's clearly an outstanding young player. He has an excellent view of the game. For a 21 year old, he has an extraordinary maturity. If you look at his record, he played a lot of football for a young player.
"The thing is with him, he'll only get better. He trains and plays with a smile, he is very focused and begins to feel intensity in his game. Working with him is a joy. "
It was reported this week in Belgium, Tielemans homeland, that his performances had attracted the attention of Premier League rivals Tottenham and Manchester United.
A fee of £ 40m was mentioned, which would represent a record fee for a club for Leicester. However, Fox may be able to offset some of it by using Silva as a decisive factor in any potential transaction.
Rodgers said, "It's not for me to give a player a market value. It's up to me to ask if he is a good player and can he influence how we work? And of course, the answer is yes based on what we saw. "
"It really understands how we want to work and how we want to play.When you have this type of player on your team, it's a pleasure to work with him."
Harry Maguire returns from suspension for Leicester's trip to Huddersfield, which was relegated Saturday.
