Leicester City will target Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah this summer, but only after offloading club legend Jamie Vardy, according to Football Transfers.
The 37-year-old is out of contract at the King Power Stadium this summer, with the Foxes holding out on contract negotiations for a number of stars whilst they still chase promotion back to the Premier League. Despite his age, the striker is showing no signs of letting up and is once again the club’s top goalscorer this season with 16 in all competitions.
The Foxes have let slip a mammoth lead at the top of the Championship in recent weeks and currently sit third in the table. However, they are just two points behind pacesetters Ipswich Town and do possess a game in hand over the two teams above them.
As such, they still hold their promotion fate in their own hands and are favourites to secure an immediate return to the Premier League. Much has been made of Leicester’s financial constraints and a number of key stars are expected to attract attention this summer, including Player of the Season nominee Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Vardy remains one of the club’s highest earners on a reported £150,000-per-week. As such, Football Transfers claim that they will allow the former England international to depart at the end of his current deal to make way for fresh faces. Arsenal’s Nketiah tops the list, who is also wanted by Brentford and Crystal Palace.
