  • Arsene Wenger had made Jamie Vardy his primary transfer target during the summer after Leicester City won the league title but the striker decided against making a move to the Emirates.

    The England star revealed to the BBC the reasons why he decided against a move to North London: “It’s a decision that I came to. I thought about all the positives and negatives. I made my decision and stuck by my decision and I’m still here.

    “You always say that [you want to stay] but the manager might get fed up with me and say ‘on your bike’ so we’ll have to wait and see.”

    Jamie Vardy signed a new deal with Leicester City upon rejecting the Arsenal move.
