Tottenham Hotspur cult hero Darren Anderton has urged Spurs to bring Brendan Rodgers to N17.
The former Tottenham midfielder, speaking to the Daily Express, thinks Rodgers’ style of football suits Spurs.
Rodgers recently left Leicester City by mutual consent after four years at the club.
TalkSPORT reported in March that Tottenham are big fans of the 50-year-old.
It was suggested that Spurs admire Rodgers and his style of play is what they are seeking from their next manager.
Meanwhile, Graeme Bailey recently told the Talking Transfers Podcast that Daniel Levy rates the Northern Irishman highly.
‘A brand of football that Tottenham fans want to see’
Now, Anderton has delivered his verdict on the prospect of Rodgers joining Tottenham.
“I like Brendan Rodgers,” he told the Daily Express.
“When he’s given top, top players… I mean, what he did at Liverpool, he was so unlucky not to win the Premier League there.
“He plays a brand of football that Tottenham fans want to see. I think that’s fair to say.
“Since Pochettino, with Mourinho and Conte, the football has been dour at times.
“We’ve got some wonderful footballers.
“But two very defensive managers that have certainly made for some very dull afternoons at White Hart Lane. So I think that comes into it.
“I feel like he plays a brand of football that is the Tottenham way, and I think that would work.”
Our view
Rodgers to Tottenham is not a particular bad shout.
The Northern Irishman won two league titles, two cups and three league cups during his time as Celtic boss.
Rodgers also won an FA Cup and a Community Shield with Leicester, plus the League Cup at Swansea.
And crucially, he knows the Premier League inside out.
Earlier in his career, Rodgers had a spell at Liverpool, and very nearly won the title in 2014.
He is now much more experienced at the highest level and would be able to take that to Tottenham.
