Arsenal have received their biggest setback yet in this transfer window, with Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy rejecting a move to the Emirates and agreeing a new four-year deal at the King Power Stadium. The club confirmed the news on their official website, with the striker to officially sign the contract after the ongoing European Championships in France.
The statement read:
“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.”
The Gunners had triggered the player’s £21 million release clause earlier this month, but the Englishman has chosen to stay with the defending champions. He will earn £100,000-per-week as part of this contract extension.
