When asked if he now expected to go with the players who are already in the building, Rodgers said: “That’s what I am feeling at this moment in time. The players that we have will be the players that I trust that can do the job. “If we can get some players in before then, that would be amazing but the focus has been very much on what is here at this moment.” Reports on Monday claimed that 38-year-old striker Vardy had his heart set on a move to Celtic Park after leaving Leicester at the end of last season. “Listen, I would not speak about any individual player,” said Rodgers. “Of course I worked really well with Jamie, he was brilliant for me in my time at Leicester. But there’s been so many names floated about. I wouldn’t disclose either way.” Press Association View 14 comments Send Tip or Correction Embed this post To embed this post, copy the code below on your site Email “Brendan Rodgers refuses to comment on Jamie Vardy to Celtic rumours”.
