Chelsea are reportedly considering Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers as a potential replacement for the struggling Frank Lampard.

Chelsea spent big on new signings in the summer but the club’s fortunes haven’t improved as might have been expected, with Rodgers now being talked up as a possible option to be their next manager, according to the Daily Mirror.
Rodgers has done fine work with Leicester and has also previously won admiration for his work at Liverpool, Celtic and Swansea City.
