Leicester City legend Matt Elliott has urged Brendan Rodgers to reject interest from Tottenham Hotspur.

Reports have claimed Daniel Levy would pursue Rodgers if Jose Mourinho was to leave the north London club.

Speaking to Goal, Elliott said: "There's always that worry for a club like Leicester, even though they're growing and developing season on season in terms of the infrastructure, the training ground, the stadium and the profile of the players.

"There's lots to be at Leicester City for. Brendan Rodgers is an exceptional coach but he's an ambitious one as well, and he'll want to take Leicester as far as he can. However, he'll of course have his eye on what's developing at other clubs.

"It's inevitable really that he'll be linked with other clubs as that is a reflection of how well he's performing.

"People may be in denial about it, thinking, 'why would he ever want to leave our wonderful club', but the truth is, you assess situations as they come along - nothing lasts forever, let's put it that way."
