It seems Jamie Vardy’s refusal has been taken sportingly by Arsene Wenger.
The Frenchman says he admires Vardy’s loyalty to the Foxes and wishes for the striker to keep doing well.
Because of a “let-go” clause in his contract, Vardy was free to make a final call on his proposed transfer to Arsenal. Leicester did not have much of a role to play in that.
And given the difference in the statures of Arsenal and Leicester as Football clubs, despite the latter winning the Premiership the previous season, Vardy’s response was unlikely to be negative to the Gunners.
But, he kept everyone guessing for about 20 days or so and then, the word came out from Leicester that he had nodded to pen an extension.
