The 29-year-old is said to be considering his future while at Euro 2016 with England after the Gunners met a reported £20million release clause in his Leicester contract.
Vardy is yet to decide whether to accept Arsenal’s £120,000-a-week offer or to stay at Leicester, who have also given him an improved deal.
“Arsenal don’t get the ball forward quick enough for Jamie Vardy”.
And Koscielny is well aware of Vardy’s qualities after the striker scored three times in the two meetings between Arsenal and Leicester this season.
Arsenal recently activated Vardy’s £20 million release clause, a move the Reds are considering mirroring, and a Leicester source revealed that he is seen as an ideal addition to a Liverpool front line that includes Divock Origi, Daniel Sturridge and Danny Ings, per Hetherington:”We know Vardy is seen as the flawless fit for Liverpool”.
Arsenal squad is undergoing some crucial changes this summer as manager Arsene Wenger looks to cover up the loopholes in his squad while maintaining the stability. They play his way, they get the ball forward very quickly and he will keep on causing havoc. I’m not saying he won’t get goals but I don’t think he will get enough opportunities at Arsenal.

When quizzed directly about Vardy’s potential move to Emirates Stadium, Koscielny replied: “You know, I don’t like to talk when it’s not signed. You play for Arsenal, you kick off and the other team sit 10 men behind the ball”.
