Brendan Rodgers has ruled out any transfer moves among his top players in the January transfer window.

According to Rodgers, none of his players intends to leave the team in January amidst the rumors linking a few to other clubs in the Premier League, La Liga and Series A after an impressive run of games.

There will be no one leaving in January. Categorically," said Rodgers.

Asked if that message had been passed down by the club's hierarchy, he added: "No. But I'm sure if we speak that will be the case as well.

"I speak regularly with John Rudkin [director of football] and Top [Leicester owner] but I haven't spoken to them today on that.

"It's pretty clear we want to keep this squad together, it's a very exciting team with a lot of growth and development in it. So we want to make sure that they stay around and beyond January."

Leicester sit second behind Liverpool who lead by eight points. James Maddison’s failure to extend contract was enquired as to whether he is opting for a move from the Foxes but manager gave no information about the story.

"I can't tell you anything about that.

"There's been bits of speculation about that. I think John Rudkin [director of football] has had some conversations with the representatives. But that's as far as where it's at. So there's nothing really to update.

"I think for some of the players we will wait until after January, but for others that can happen at any stage in the season. If there is anything to be announced that will come later on through the club.

"It is the nature of the game, when you're doing well there will always be speculation. James Maddison and a one or two of the other boys they understand that.

"But long may it continue. He's been absolutely brilliant, started the season really well - very efficient, very productive - and getting better.

"It's sometimes what happens when you're doing so well. He's a very bright young player and he's got a big future."
