Leicester City coach said circumstances prevented him from signing Ademola Lookman on a permanent deal after his loan spell with the club expired last season.
The Super Eagles newcomer was on loan from RB Leipzig. He scored 13 goals for Leicester in all competitions. However, he signed a four year contract with Atalanta and could be making his debut this weekend in the Serie A when Atalanta visit Sampdoria.
“I would have loved to have signed Ademola [Lookman], who was great here last season and got over 10 goals and assists but we weren’t able to do that,” Rodgers confessed as quoted by LeicestershireLive.
“Unfortunately that means we then have to look at the squad and the team and try to adapt, and then put them out to be as best organised as they can be.
“At this moment in time, I would say no. That was the frustration for us, that with Barnesy out, we didn’t have a direct replacement.”
