Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has
revealed that Gunners transfer target,
Jamie Vardy of Leicester City will
indeed stay on with the Premier
League champions.

Although Gunners triggered the
£20million release clause in the
striker’s contract earlier this
month, Wenger has now confirmed
that he expects Vardy to remain at
the King Power Stadium.

He said: “Jamie Vardy is, at the
moment at Leicester and from what
I know he will stay at Leicester.”

But Vardy, who smashed 24 goals
for the Premier League-winning
Foxes last season, was remaining
tight-lipped when quizzed on his
future on Saturday.

Vardy grabbed a vital equaliser as
a substitute in Thursday’s 2-1 win
over Wales.

“No, nothing. I am here completely
focused on England,” he said when
asked about his future at the
weekend.

Vardy also confirmed he hadn’t
spoken to boss Roy Hodgson about
any transfer speculation.

“I want to stay focused. We’re here
to represent England and that’s all I
want to think about.”

Vardy’s comments come shortly
after vice-chairman Aiyawatt
Srivaddhanaprabha revealed
Leicester are increasingly confident
they can keep hold of their top
scorer.

But Srivaddhanaprabha told the
Daily Mail: “You will see the news
very soon, but I think he will stay.

“I think so, let’s see. We need to
build the team. We keep continuing
to believe that we can do something
special in the Premier League and
the Champions League.

“The Champions League is going to
be amazing for Leicester, so let’s
see. Leicester is the underdog and
we can still be the underdog.”
