# Arsenal: Fans doubt The Mirror after reports about Brendan Rodgers emerge

**Arsenal fans have been voicing their doubts over the source of some news regarding Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers.**

[According to The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/arsenal-set-miss-out-no1-21016505), the Gunners are set to miss out on their number one target, Rodgers, as a replacement for Unai Emery for the head coach role.

The Northern Irishman seemed to dismiss speculation linking him with the job at the north London giants, claiming he is happy at the [King Power Stadium](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/arsenal-set-miss-out-no1-21016505).

Rodgers has done a superb job at the Midlands side, with the Foxes sitting in second place in the Premier League, eight points off leaders Liverpool.

He has already made one controversial career move, having left Celtic, who were challenging for the domestic treble for Leicester, angering the Scottish faithful in the process [(via The Herald)](https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/17459429.celtic-fans-react-as-brendan-rodgers-leaves-club/).

Despite the negative report from The Mirror, fans took to Twitter to voice their doubts over the news.

Here is a selection of tweets from the north London faithful:
