Jamie Vardy had turned down a move to Arsenal as Leicester City have come out to admit that the player has agreed to a four years contract extension at the club. Leicester City made this known at the club website in a statement:
“Leicester City have today (Thursday) agreed with the representatives of Jamie Vardy to extend the England international’s contract with the Premier League champions for a further four years,” said the statement. “Both parties hope that this announcement will end recent speculation regarding Jamie’s future and confirm his long term commitment to Leicester City Football Club. “Jamie will continue to focus all of his efforts on trying to achieve success with the England team at the European Championships in France. There will be no further comment from either the Club or the player on this matter until the conclusion of the tournament.”
It seems Vardy feels he is just too good for Arsenal or has Arsenal lost its lustre to attract players because even with Leicester City as a champion, many will not see a player like Vardy turning down a chance to play for a club like Arsenal.
