- Brendan Rodgers could be named next Arsenal manager
- The Gunners are in search of a new manager after sacking Unai Emery last month
- They have now contacted the Foxes boss as they step up their interest in the tactician
Arsenal have reportedly stepped up their chase to lure Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers to Emirates Stadium.
The north Londoners fired their manager Unai Emery last month after about one and a half years in charge of the club.
Club legend Freddie Ljungberg took charge of the Gunners on interim capacity, settling for 2-2 draw against Norwich City in his first match in charge.
But the club is still hoping to name a substantial manager in a matter of days as they are hoping to revive their chances of finishing among top four this season.
Arsenal are currently eighth on the table with 19 points from 14 games and they welcome struggling Brighton and Hove Albion in their next league game.
SunSport, however, reports that the Emirates Stadium outfit has made contact with Rodgers to take over the Arsenal hot-sea permanently.
The former Liverpool boss has enjoyed a bright start to life since his return to the Premier League with Leicester earlier this year.
The King Power Stadium dwellers are second on the log against all odds - three points ahead of Manchester City and eight behind Liverpool.
When asked about the possibility of joining the Gunners, Brendan admitted that he has a clause that allows him join another club despite been contracted with his present outfit.
