“Leicester City have today (Thursday) agreed with the representatives of Jamie Vardy to extend the England international’s contract with the Premier League champions for a further four years,” a statement on Leicester’s website read.
“Both parties hope that this announcement will end recent speculation regarding Jamie’s future and confirm his long term commitment to Leicester City Football Club,” the statement continued.
“Jamie will continue to focus all of his efforts on trying to achieve success with the England team at the European Championships in France.
“There will be no further comment from either the Club or the player on this matter until the conclusion of the tournament.”
Vardy, the Premier League’s Player of the Year, was reportedly high on Arsenal’s wishlist, yet decided to remain with the Foxes, having scored 24 goals last season as he helped the club to their maiden top-flight title.
