Vardy, who is now on duty with England ahead of Euro 2016, enjoyed a lot of success in the 2015/16 season as he scored 24 goals and notched up eight assists in all competitions.
Vardy’s 24 goals helped fire Leicester to an unexpected Premier League crown last month and earned him a place in the England squad for the forthcoming European Championships.
Arsenal have triggered the release clause in Jamie Vardy’s contract and are ready to prise the England global from Leicester City in a deal worth about £20m (€25.5 million).
Jamie Vardy may be about to leave Premier League champions Leicester as Arsenal have come knocking.
Well, at 29 years old the striker is ageing, and despite his impressive season it seems like a big risk to pay so much for a player after one good season.
Arsenal is that team as they have, according to Sky Sports sources, would like to hold talks with Vardy about making a move to Arsenal for the upcoming season.
The final decision will now lie with Vardy – after Manchester United reportedly passed up the opportunity to sign him earlier this week, opening the door for Wenger to swoop.
The North Londoners have already signed Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka from Borussia Monchengladbach and adding Vardy’s considerable firepower up front could transform them into formidable title contenders.
