SAN FRANCISCO, June 19, (THEWILL) – Arsene Wenger has admitted Jamie Vardy is set to snub a move to Arsenal in favour of staying at Leicester City.
Speaking on Chinese media, Tencent Sports, the Gunners’ boss revealed that he believes the Premier League winner will stay at the King Power Stadium despite having his £20 million release clause met.
Vardy however refused to make a decision on a move to the Arsenal before Euro 2016, preferring to settle matters after the tournament to allow him to focus on his commitments with England.
And now Wenger has dampened any speculation by admitting that, to his knowledge, Vardy will remain a Leicester City player after opting against a summer exit.
“Jamie Vardy is at the moment at Leicester, and, on what I know, he will stay at Leicester,” he said.
