Leeds United and Everton are reportedly interested in signing veteran Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy in the summer transfer window.
Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has decided to leave the club in the summer, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. According to Fichajes, Leeds United are interested in the 144-goal Premier League star. The Whites have secured promotion to the Premier League, and they need more quality in the attacking unit.
The West Yorkshire outfit will look to establish themselves as Premier League regulars next, and they need to bring in quality additions during the summer transfer window. Signing a reliable striker like Vardy would be a wise decision. Apart from his quality in front of the goal, his experience could prove to be invaluable for Leeds. His leadership qualities will help them on and off the pitch.
Meanwhile, a separate report by Fichajes has also reported that Everton are keen to sign the veteran English striker. The Toffees could certainly use more depth in the attacking unit, and the experienced striker would be the ideal acquisition.
Everton will lose Dominic Calvert-Lewin as a free agent at the end of the season, and they need to replace him adequately. They are lacking a reliable goalscorer, and signing the Englishman could prove to be a wise decision.
Even though he would be a short-term acquisition, he has the quality to make an instant impact at Everton. The player could be open to a new challenge in the summer, and the opportunity to join a top-flight club will be hard to turn down.
Jamie Vardy would improve both teams
Vardy has previously helped Leicester City win the Premier League title and the FA Cup. He will look to make his mark at Everton or Leeds if he ends up joining them. Everton have shown great improvement since the arrival of David Moyes, and they will look to fight for a place in the top half next year.
The experienced striker could certainly play a key role. On the other hand, he will be hoping to help Leeds secure safety in the Premier League next season if he joins them in the summer. The highly experienced striker has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia and MLS as well. It remains to be seen what he decides over the next few weeks.
