Leicester under Brendan Rodgers are driven, ambitious and decisive so their charge at the top is no longer a shock - they are the front foot Foxes in Premier League title race

When Arsenal were looking for a new manager a little over a year ago, they considered a play for Brendan Rodgers.

'It was a bit of a flirt, really,' revealed one source close to him this week. 'No more than that, but it was definitely there.' Leicester did not mess around. Within days their manager had signed a new five-year contract and Arsenal hired Mikel Arteta.

Six months earlier, Leicester had been mulling over a move for a young full back at Luton Town. His name was James Justin. Other Premier League clubs had looked but were not sure.
