Liverpool and Tottenham interested in Jamie Vardy
According to ESPN, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have expressed an interest in the centre-forward and could enter the race for his services along with Real Madrid. With three years still left in his contract, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the 28 year old English striker.
While the hardworking centre-forward is likely to prove effective under Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, the promise of playing for Real Madrid could lure the striker away from England. Without the services of a supporting striker in the squad, Rafael Benitez has been left stranded as Karim Benzema continues to struggle with match fitness. In such a case, Real Madrid could make a move for Jamie Vardy as soon as next January in a bid to bolster their squad.
