Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea stunned as Leicester plot contract talks with Jamie Vardy

Jamie Vardy is the Premier League's top scorer

LEICESTER CITY are ready to open contract talks with Jamie Vardy amid interest from Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea.

 

Vardy has enjoyed an outstanding season, setting a new Premier League record of scoring in successive matches.

And his goals have kept the Foxes at the top of the table and in contention for Europe.

 

The likes of United, Liverpool and Chelsea are all understood to have registered an interest in the player who could command a fee of at least £20million.

But ESPN FC say Leicester will attempt to see off any potential bids by offering Vardy an improved contract.

In 2014, Vardy signed a four-year deal and the striker is confident Leicester can match his ambitions.

 

"Yes, Leicester match my ambitions, Vardy said on his future.

"I think the gaffer has come in and told the owners what he wants to do, and he wants to keep progressing.

"He wants to progress on what we did last year and then, in the years to come, he wants to keep us going up and up and up."
