Alan Nixon says Rodgers is wanted by Newcastle and Leicester

According to Alan Nixon of The Sun, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is being eyed by both Newcastle United and Leicester City. The Hoops would demand around £9m in compensation, however, which may see the Premier League duo opt against making an approach.

Newcastle have had a woeful start to the new season under Rafael Benitez, with the Toon Army currently rock bottom of the Premier League with two points after nine games. They recently lost at home to Brighton & Hove Albion without scoring and could be headed for relegation unless something changes.
