Kris Commons Thinks Brendan Rodgers Views Leicester City as a 'Stepping Stone'

Kris Commons thinks Brendan Rodgers might view Leicester City as a stepping stone to bigger jobs in the Premier League.

Former Celtic midfielder Commons mentioned London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea as the possible next destinations for Rodgers. The latter was officially announced as the Foxes' new manager on Tuesday, per the club's official website, after stepping down from his role with the Hoops.

However, Commons, who never featured for Celtic after Rodgers' appointment, told Sky Sports News that the Northern Ireland native can do better:

"Leicester have got a top coach - a proven manager - but I think Brendan's better than Leicester.
