Brendan Rodgers has admitted it would take “something extraordinary” for him to quit Celtic amid speculation he could succeed Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.


Rodgers is among the bookies’ favourites to become the next Arsenal boss following Wenger’s announcement that he will be leaving at the end of the season.

Celtic majority shareholder Dermot Desmond has admitted the club would allow the former Liverpool gaffer to speak to the Gunners.

And when asked what he would do if Arsenal were to make an approach, Rodgers said: ”I would speak to the board. It would take something extraordinary to take me away from here.

"I have a great relationship with Dermot.


"I came in on a year's deal and the club offered me four years and I was happy to sign that.


"After this season I will have three more years and I will be so happy if I can see that three years out.


"I love working here and the whole process of developing players, winning games and seeing the club progress. There is still a lot to do here.


"Naturally there will be speculation because Arsene has said he is leaving at the end of the season. My name was thrown in there but it is nota consideration.


"My only focus us wrapping up the title and moving onto the Scottish Cup final.



"I have always said I am living my dream here and at some point my dream will end, like they all do and I go back into the real world again.

"I am obviously privileged to be manager of Celtic, big club, huge demands and I am only helping the club grow and go forward and order to do that it is about happiness.


"There will be somewhere I can go and maybe earn two or three times more money than I am now.


"It is not about that. I am still relatively young as a manager at 45, I am happy in my professional life and really content outside of that as well."
