Rodgers rules out Spurs switch

by Setanta Staff , 10 February 2012

Brendan Rodgers has rubbished rumours linking him with Tottenham Hotspur just a day after he penned a new deal with Swansea City.


Rodgers has committed his future to the Swans after penning a three-year deal but the ink had not even dried on it before he was linked with a move to Tottenham.

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is hot favourite to take the England job and Rodgers has emerged as a surprise contender to take over at White Hart Lane should he leave.

However Rodgers has dismissed the rumours as speculation and says he full intends to honour his contract at the Liberty Stadium.

"If speculation comes with me doing the job well then I am flattered and honoured," he told the BBC.

"It's natural. If you do well in any business or any sport, there's always going to be speculation. But that's really all it is.

"It's incredible, you sign a new contract and the day you sign it you are linked with moving away but I am very happy here and my family love it in Wales.

"However, this is the place I want to be. Hopefully I can be here for the duration of my contract - that's my aim."
