Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is eager to see Youri Tielemans sign a new contract.
The Belgium international's current contract expires in 2023 so the Foxes fear they will have to sell their prized asset next summer or risk losing him for nothing a year later.
Tielemans' representatives remain in talks, and their hand will be even stronger after the 24-year-old's display in west London.
After victory over Brentford, Rodgers said: “Naturally it's one the club will do everything they possibly can in order to keep Youri.
“My focus is on making him the best player he can be. It's between his representatives and the club and hopefully they will find a solution.
“He's a wonderful guy to work with, and today's was a sensational strike. He creates goals, he scores goals and he's a real brain in our midfield."
