Crystal Palace could soon have the chance to sign Brendan Rodgers – who is on Tottenham Hotspur’s shortlist – to replace Antonio Conte.
What is the ins and outs?
Well, the Northern Irishman saw his Leicester side draw 1-1 with Brentford in the Premier League earlier today, leaving them just one point above the relegation zone.
While it was a decent result against a strong side, the manner of the performance raised many questions about whether Rodgers would keep his job at the King Power Stadium – the defense of Mathias Janssen’s goal was a particular concern.
With the international break approaching, Leicester City need to make a decision.
With a dearth of options, Crystal Palace find themselves negotiating with Roy Hodgson and they may be interested in speaking to Rodgers if he receives his P45, as Patrick Vieira did on Friday morning.
Tottenham – according to talk about sports – Definitely interested in the Northern Irish.
The 50-year-old is said to be on Conte’s list of potential replacements.
Now, some might question why Crystal Palace would want Rodgers given his Leicester side are currently struggling – and if you find yourself asking that question, there’s a very good reason for that.
Tottenham target Rodgers could revive Crystal Palace attack
Odsonne Edouard would certainly like to see Rodgers at Selhurst Park.
the french scored 27 goals and offers ten assist 68 Played under Rodgers at Celtic and became one of the most exciting forwards in Europe.
Since joining Crystal Palace £14 million Edwards has struggled since his trade with the Celtics in August 2021, scoring just 11 target at 57 Played under Vieira.
However, Rodgers could breathe new life into Edouard’s Crystal Palace career and could also be a challenger to Wilfried Zaha, Michael Olis and Ebereich Eze if he gets the 25-year-old defensive back again. Make a transformative impact.
The south Londoners need something to ignite their attack, to say the least – according to Optathey recently became the first team on record to go three consecutive Premier League games without a shot on target.
Yes, Rodgers may not be of much help defensively, but that’s not Crystal Palace’s problem right now.
