Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says the Premier League transfer market has been transformed.

Rodgers believes the traditional 'top six' can no longer cherry-pick the Premier League's best talent.

"Teams are in a much stronger position to where they were years ago," he said.

"It was a gimme that players would leave. But remember, it wasn't that long ago that (Xherdan) Shaqiri left Inter Milan for Stoke City.

"The power and prestige of the Premier League, plus the financial clout the teams have means you'll always lose players, but you also have a greater chance to hang onto them.

"It all depends on what it is for. For players it will be about game time and money, you have to respect that, their career is so short.

"There are greater opportunities for a place to stay, develop and improve, and see where they can go later."
