Why would Brendan Rodgers even have any thoughts about leaving Leicester?

His revolution is gathering momentum at rapid speed and he is now 12 points clear of Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham, in front of Premier League champions Manchester City and breathing down the necks of his former club Liverpool.

He possesses a squad with some of the best young players in the country, a striker in Jamie Vardy who has scored in six consecutive games, and a board who will back him with funds in January.

Arsenal would be foolish not to have him on their short-list, but Rodgers is only focusing on the future with Leicester after a sixth Premier League win in a row.

Kelechi Iheanacho’s dramatic winner deep into added time, awarded by the Video Assistant Referee despite the forward being flagged offside by the linesman, piled on the misery for Marco Silva but the feel-good factor around the King Power Stadium is palpable.

He did confirm the Daily Telegraph’s story that he has a £14 million release clause, but reiterated his commitment to the club on Sunday.
