Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is confident keeping hold of Jonny Evans.

Off contract in June, Evans is being linked with a return to Manchester United.

Rodgers says new contract talks have kicked off: "I would say that we are quite close, hopefully very soon. The important thing is that Jonny wants to be here."

On Youri Tielemans, he added: "It is now that the agents begin to warm up.

"Whatever happens outside does not interest me. My job is to influence the players, make them better and right now he is enjoying his football."
