Jamie Vardy is of interest to Arsenal, who would like to speak to Leicester
Arsenal are interested in signing Jamie Vardy and would like to hold
talks with Leicester about signing the striker, Sky sources
understand.
It is understood the 29-year-old England striker has a £20m release
clause in the new four-year contract he signed in February and the
Gunners are prepared to meet that clause.
Sky sources understand Arsenal are making their move after Manchester
United turned down the chance to register their interest, with Jose
Mourinho only wanting to sign one striker this summer - Zlatan
Ibrahimovic .
The Portuguese also believes Marcus Rashford can have a huge impact at
Old Trafford next season, with Mourinho determined to continue
United's legacy of bringing through their young talent.
Vardy is currently on duty with England ahead of Euro 2016, following
an astonishing season as the Foxes were crowned Premier League
champions, scoring 24 goals in all competitions.
The former Stocksbridge Park Steels, Halifax Town and Fleetwood Town
forward increased his wages to £80,000 per week when he signed a new
deal until 2019 earlier this year.
He made his England debut last June and has scored three goals for the
national side since, and is expected to be influential in England's
campaign for the European Championships.
