But the England worldwide has insisted he won’t announce a decision on his future until after Euro 2016, whilst Leicester City are working on an improved contract to keep him at the King Power Stadium.

England manager Hodgson has urged his players to focus fully on the Euro 2016 campaign, however, which begins with the Group B opener against Russian Federation in Marseille on Saturday.
Jamie Vardy will not let speculation over his club future cloud focus on helping England win Euro 2016, according to global team-mate Daniel Sturridge.
Arsenal, runners-up last season, are trying to sign Vardy, triggering a release clause in his contract with a bid of about 20 million pounds ($29.1 million), British media reported.
Signing Jamie Vardy would be a mistake for Arsenal because the striker does not suit their style of play, according to Paul Merson.
Manchester City are closing in on Borussia Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
With Champions League football guaranteed at both Arsenal and Leicester, Vardy will face a decision based on his playing time as well as the financial package offered. “I think it is more so how you play as a team and gel as a team”, added Sturridge.
Vardy is sweating on his place for England’s opener against Russian Federation in Marseille on Saturday having started their final warm-up game against Portugal last Thursday.
Arsenal were confident over the weekend that the deal would go through but Vardy has yet to give manager Arsene Wenger a definitive answer.
The Gunners are understood to have triggered the £20m release clause in Vardy’s contract, but as the England global prepares for Euro 2016, a decision is unlikely to be reached on his future until after the tournament, as noted by The Guardian.
Thus you have Vardy’s bosses, on both the club (potentially soon) and country level, speaking up on what he should do and where he fits. “I mean, Ricardo Carvalho looked like Franz Beckenbauer”.

“I don’t think that he will be a starter”.
