" Future of Leicester striker confirmed "

Leicester City 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.

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.

Former Leicester striker Gary Lineker tweeted: "A show of loyalty from @vardy7 and a show of ambition from @LCFC is to be applauded."

this is the result of funding increasing for all clubs and is great for competitiveness.

vardy has been loyal - well done to him. but lets not pretend he would have stayed 2-3 years ago as leicester couldn't have afforded to pay him a market driven salary. he will be on £100k + a week whereas arsenal offered £120k.
