Jamie Vardy turns down Arsenal move?

Jamie Vardy may have opted against a move to the Emirates, former Arsenal midfield Ray Parlour claims.

The Gunners were said to be close to signing the England international last week after they activated the £20m release clause in his Leicester City contract and offered a three-year deal on wages worth £120,000-a-week.

However, the player seems to have taken a huge U-turn since then, and he is now considering extending his stay at the King Power Stadium on an improved salary package.

"It looks like it isn't happening now. I was at the Arsenal the other day and there were big reports flying around, and the club's cameramen and digital staff had to get down to the training ground," Parlour told talkSPORT.

"So it looked like it was going to happen - there was a medical being done. But it seems Vardy thought about it while on England duty, and suddenly there was a U-turn."

Vardy could feature for the Three Lions in their Euro 2016 opener against Russia on Saturday.
