London's "Arsenal" is making every effort to surpass all clubs in the fight for "Leicester City" sniper Jamie Vardy.
Arsene Wenger's team offered £20 million and thus activated the buyout clause set in the 29-year-old Englishman's contract.
The "Gunners" would like to finalize all the formalities before the English national team leaves for the European Championship in France, which will happen on Monday.
The news about "Arsenal's" intentions was confirmed by "Leicester City" manager Claudio Ranieri: "Yes, it is true."
It is said that a significant role in luring J. Vardy to the London club was played by England national team midfielder Jack Wilshere, who constantly convinced the forward during the national team training sessions.
