“I think Vardy is really thinking whether Arsenal would suit him. Then to turn round and say “I’m going to think about it”, I don’t think Arsene Wenger is going to like that”.

The England global has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal recently, with reports suggesting that the London outfit had triggered his £20m release clause.
The 29-year-old forward, who scored 24 goals as the Foxes stormed to the Premier League title last season, is expected to make his decision after Euro 2016.
GOAL: Eric Dier scores from a free kick for England in the 73rd minute.
The claim comes from Arsenal legend Ray Parlour who spoke to Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast and explained how his sources at the club had told him about Vardy’s decision.
Vardy, 29, is now weighing up whether to make the switch to the Gunners, with sources telling ESPN FC that he has already undergone the first stage of his medical at the club.
On the Euros: “I have managed a national team and it didn’t go so well – I’m more of a day-to-day kind of person”.

ARSENAL manager Arsene Wenger clearly isn’t anxious about scaring off Jamie Vardy after admitting that he does not think the Leicester City striker will start for England in their Euro 2016 opener against Russian Federation on Saturday. Since the sale of van Persie, Arsenal acquired world class stars Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez from Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively and are building around their influential players. Even if the Gunners don’t get their man from Leicester, it is a promising sign for the football club of North London.
