Brendan Rodgers reveals he turned down Arsenal and Newcastle offers to stay with Leicester

Brendan Rodgers has revealed he twice rejected the chance to leave Leicester as he tries to turn around their season.

With chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, known as Khun Top, in the directors' box, a defeat would have placed Rodgers under huge scrutiny.
