Brendan Rodgers 'is Tottenham's first choice successor to Jose Mourinho' despite boss stating his commitment to Leicester and saying he was grateful he didn't join Spurs in the past

Tottenham are planning to make a shock swoop for Brendan Rodgers this summer, according to the Sun.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is trying to persuade the rest of his board that the Leicester manager is still a suitable candidate to lead the club, after they sacked Jose Mourinho last week.

They are seventh in the Premier League and face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, with former midfielder and current academy coach Ryan Mason put in charge until the end of the season.

Rodgers turned some of the Spurs board sour nine years ago after he rejected an approach made by them nine years ago and said he had a 'close shave' by not taking charge of the club.
