Not long ago, little-known striker Jamie Vardy made such a splash in the "Premier" league championship that he became one of the biggest football stars on the planet.
The 28-year-old Englishman broke the scoring record of "Man Utd" legend Ruud van Nistelrooy, scoring goals in 11 consecutive matches and probably securing a place in the England national team, which is preparing to surprise in the European Championship.
It is reported that J. Vardy is one of the main candidates to take the vacant spot on the cover of the FIFA 17 video game, as a long-time partnership with "Barcelona" leader Lionel Messi has ended.
Other contenders named are "Man City" striker Sergio Aguero and "Real" representative James Rodriguez.
"EA Sports" cannot offer contracts to global stars Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo because the latter have agreements with competitors "Konami".
