Brendan Rodgers, manager of Leicester City, has warned that he will transfer any player who does not want to be at the club this winter.

Rodgers claimed in an interview with TribalFootball that he just wants a roster of committed players.

Despite losing first-team talents Kasper Schmeichel and Wesley Fofana, the Foxes underperformed in the summer window, signing only Wout Faes and Alex Smithies.

“I think that if someone doesn’t want to be here or someone wants too much money to be here, we have to be brave enough to say ‘listen, thank you very much and on you go’, because we are not a club with masses of resources that can facilitate every single player’s need, especially from a financial side,” Rodgers said.

“A number of these guys are down to their last year [in their contracts]. We said before we’d like them to stay but there has to be a point in time when what they want is too demanding for us as a club and if the time is right, they have to move on, then we have to do that and then look forward.”
