Jamie Vardy was behind one of the biggest surprises in Premier League history. At the start of the 2015/16 season, no one predicted that Leicester would win the world’s toughest league. With Claudio Ranieri at the helm, Kasper Schmeichel on the line and Vardy hammering in 24 PL goals, the club went all the way. This month, the 38-year-old has played his last game for Leicester, but no retirement is expected.
English media have reported Premier League clubs have expressed their interest. Wolverhampton, with Jørgen Strand Larsen, have been in the picture, FA Cup champions Crystal Palace the same. Newly promoted Leeds are also linked with the striker with 143 Premier League goals.
