Brendan Rodgers refutes Tottenham Hotspur speculation

Brendan Rodgers says that his "only concentration" is on Swansea City's Premier League campaign, rather than reports linking him with Tottenham Hotspur.

Swansea City manager Brendan Rodgers has claimed that he is focused on taking the Swans forward in the Premier League, despite reports linking the coach to Tottenham Hotspur.

There have been suggestions that Spurs are considering a move for Rodgers if current boss Harry Redknapp decides to abandon White Hart Lane for the England managerial role.

"People need to fill pages in papers and they need discussion points," said Rodgers. "But my only focus is Swansea and Harry's only focus will be Tottenham and I just think it's disrespectful talking about him and the job he is in.

"He loves being at Tottenham and I know from talking to him when he was here in December that he enjoys being there. Likewise with myself, my only concentration and focus is on this job and trying to retain our status over the next eight games in this league.

"It's part of British football, speculation, gossip, whatever you want to call it. When these reports come out you take them as they are, it fills a bit of a paper, people read it and it will probably be someone else tomorrow."

Meanwhile, Redknapp has hailed Rodgers for his impressive leadership in the Premier League.
