Jamie Vardy ‘plotting shock Premier League transfer’ as ex-England star, 38, confirms Leicester exit
JAMIE VARDY believes that he can still play in the Premier League and does not want to drop down to the Championship.
Vardy, 38, confirmed that he would be leaving Leicester City after 13 years, with the Foxes relegated from the top flight with a whimper.
The striker brandished the campaign a “s***show” before announcing he was leaving in an emotional farewell message.
The Foxes’ fate was sealed when they failed to beat champions Liverpool at home.
His spell at the King Power Stadium included winning the Premier League title in 2015-16, to go along with his Player of the Season and place in the PFA Team of the Year.
He won the Premier League Golden Boot in 2019-20 on 23 goals, one ahead of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Vardy has scored seven goals in 32 games this term for Leicester.
He had previously been tipped to make “the most obvious transfer of all time” to Wrexham.

However, Sky Sports reported that Vardy does not want to drop down to the second tier, instead fancying himself to keep doing the business in the top flight.
He had previously been linked with a move to Major League Soccer, while former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp believes that should Vardy join Wrexham, owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, the striker could fire the Welsh side into the Premier League.
Wrexham were promoted to the Championship last weekend after they beat Charlton Athletic 3-0 at the Racecourse Ground.
He has also been touted for a fairytale return to his boyhood club Sheffield Wednesday.
Vardy, who won 26 caps for England, scoring seven times, is reported to begin his hunt for a new club after the end of the league season.
