Brendan Rodgers has revealed that he has rejected two approaches to leave Leicester City since joining the Foxes from Celtic.
His King Power Stadium side have been stuck in a Premier League rut this season but had new life injected into their campaign with a 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Monday. Questions have been asked over Rodgers' future and he has now claimed that he has said no to leaving Leicester twice.
