In the foreign media, rumors are not fading that Jamie Vardy, who helped "Leicester City" create a miracle, has chosen another team - London's "Arsenal".
"Sky Sports" and other reliable sources claim that the "Gunners" agreed to pay the release clause stated in Vardy's contract, and Vardy himself also agreed to spread his wings to North London. The "Foxes" team cannot do anything in this situation and will have to look for one of the best "Premier League" strikers of the season as a replacement.
According to several sources, the main candidate for Vardy's place is Lisbon's "Sporting" leader Islam Slimani. It is undeniable that the 27-year-old footballer will leave Portugal this summer and move to the "Premier League".
Interest in the Leicester striker has been shown for some time now, but his contract with "Sporting" is still valid for another four years and the Lisbon team wants to receive as much money as possible for the player.
It is said that the English champions would be willing to pay 25 million pounds for I. Slimani - exactly the same amount as they would receive for Vardy's release clause. Since 2013, the striker defending the honor of "Sporting" has scored 31 goals in 46 matches per season.
