Published on December 3, 2019, Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has dismissed speculation linking him to the vacant Arsenal manager's job, stating he has 'no need to look elsewhere.'

Despite being consistently linked with the position, Rodgers reiterated his commitment to the Foxes, citing his contract until 2022 and the club's satisfaction with his work.

Leicester are currently second in the Premier League, eight points behind Liverpool, after six straight league wins.

"I have a contract here until 2022 and thus far, and I know managers are losing their jobs, but the club haven't indicated to me that they're going to sack me," Rodgers said.

"I think they're pretty happy with how we're working, and I'm very happy, so I've no need to look elsewhere," he added.

Leicester's next game is against bottom club Watford on Wednesday.
