Leicester hoping to ward off interest in striker

 

Leicester are prepared to offer star striker Jamie Vardy a new 'double-your-money' contract in order to ward off interest from Chelsea.

 

The England international has been in flying form for the Foxes this season, netting more goals (15) than any other Premier League player.

 

Manchester United and Chelsea have both been linked with a move for Vardy, the latter of who are prepared to spend big to secure his services next month.

The Mirror, though, are reporting that Leicester will offer the 28-year-old a fresh deal in order to ward off interest from the Blues.

 

Vardy still has two-and-a-half years left to run on his £40,000-a-week deal, so Leicester are under no pressure to sell the frontman when the transfer window opens.
