Why Jamie Vardy snubbed Gunners

LONDON — Jamie Vardy decided to snub a move to Arsenal because he was not convinced Arsenal play the right style of football to suit his game, according to Sky sources. Leicester announced on Thursday that the England forward has agreed a new four-year deal at the club, which he will sign once he is back from Euro 2016.

Arsenal triggered a release clause in Vardy’s contract earlier this month, but Arsene Wenger admitted at the weekend the transfer was dead. Sky sources understand Vardy’s decision was based on his belief that his game would not suit Arsenal’s possession-hungry style of football having flourished under the counter-attacking style of Claudio Ranieri’s side last season.

The 29-year-old was also swayed by his belief that Leicester have something special as a squad and cannot only mount a solid defense of their English Premier League title, but make an impact on the Champions League. — Sky Sports.
