Sky Sports News understands Everton are interested in signing Jamie Vardy fromLeicester City, but they’re unlikely to sanction a bid in this transfer window.
Sam Allardyce is a long-time admirer of Vardy, and he would be very keen to add him to his squad, we’ve been told. But Everton have already spent almost £50m on Theo Walcott and Cenk Tosun in this window, and Allardyce indicated in his news conference earlier that there are unlikely to be any further incomings.
The club are thought to have concerns about paying a hefty fee for a player who turned 31 last week.
Leicester would resist any attempt to lure Vardy away. Arsenal saw a bid of around £20m fail 18 months ago, when even though they’d matched Vardy’s release clause, the England striker chose instead to stay at Leicester.
He signed a new contract - believed to have no release clause - later that summer. Claude Puel said last week he has too many strikers at the club, and he will listen to offers for some, though NOT Vardy or Shinji Okazaki.
