Brendan Rodgers insists he is not tempted to leave Swansea for another club after penning a new contract earlier this year.

The former Watford boss has seen his reputation massively enhanced this season after leading the club into the top flight and, all but, securing their status in the Premier League for another term.

With the Swans currently sitting eighth in the table, it is no major surprise that Rodgers is being linked with other top-flight clubs, despite only signing a three-year contract in January.

The 39-year-old has been mentioned as a potential candidate for the vacancy at Chelsea, where he was previously youth team boss, but Rodgers is fully focused on the task in hand.

The Swans boss told the Daily Mail: "I am ambitious and I want to win trophies and I want to be around a long time.

"I'm realistic and know there will most likely come a time when I leave Swansea. But my only goals at the moment involve Swansea City.

"It's obviously nice to get the praise that I am getting, but I take it all with a pinch of salt."
