The Gunners will soon be receiving an update on whether
the Foxes ace Jamie Vardy will be moving to the Emirates Stadium this summer or not.
The news is according to the Foxes chief Aiyawatt
Srivaddhanaprabha, who has make it known publicly he is confident that the
England forward will stay with the Premier League champions.
According
to the Daily Mail, he said, “You will see the news very soon,”
“But
I think he will stay. I think, so let’s see. We need to build the team. We keep
continuing to believe that we can do something special in the Premier League
and the [UEFA] Champions League."
Recently,
a report from Dean Jones of Bleacher Reports said that the striker is edging
towards staying with his current employers.
As noted in the piece, the Gunners triggered the 29-year-old's release clause of £20 million recently and they also offered him a lucrative contract
worth in surplus of £100,000 a week to tempt the England frontman into considering moving to the
Emirates.
Reportedly, Vardy will make his final decision as to whether he will
be moving the Emirates after the conclusion of the 2016 UEFA European
Championships.
The
29-year-old England forward made an amazing contribution as a second-half
substitute when he scored the equalizing goal for England against Wales on Thursday;
his goal triggered a memorable comeback, with the Three Lions running out 2-1
winners.
As
noted by Squawka Football, following his 24 Premier League goals in 2015-16,
the Foxes frontman has showed his class at the international stage too:

Moving to the Emirates Stadium this summer could
prove to be a difficult challenge for the ace, who may not be guaranteed a starting place.
However, if he choses to stay at
Leicester and leads them into the Champions League next season, it would be
thrilling for the striker and would be seen as a show of loyalty to the club that gave him a chance to shine at the elite
level.
On the other hand, if he turns down a move to Arsenal, a chance of him
featuring for any other major English club may not come around again.
From my perspective, even if the Gunners actually succeed in
bringing the ace to the Emirates, it would be intriguing to see just what team manager Arsene Wenger would select as a result.
In the end, as shown in the Leicester City’s dramatic play that brought them the English Premier League League title, in
order to get the best out of the Vardy, you need to be willing to get the ball supplied
to him quickly. In order words, the Gunners' present style of playing is often incompatible with Jamie Vardy.
