NafisaWolverhampton Wanderers have emerged as the leading contenders in the race to land Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, following a major effort to secure his services, according to Football Insider.
Wolves have taken the most decisive step so far in their bid to bring the experienced forward to Molineux this summer.
Vardy, who has been an influential presence at Leicester since arriving at the club in 2012, is reportedly weighing up his options after a difficult campaign with the Foxes.
The iconic Leicester striker has confirmed that he will be departing the club this summer following their drop to the Championship.
Wolves have made up their mind regarding Vardy
Wolves are aiming to sign him as a squad-impact player rather than a guaranteed starter, as per the report.
Although Vardy is eager to remain in the Premier League after Leicester’s relegation, he has doubts about making the switch to Wolves this summer.
Besides Wolves and Wrexham, newly-promoted Leeds United are also interested in acquiring Vardy, hoping to inject his experience into Daniel Farke’s team.
Despite this interest, concerns persist at Elland Road about Vardy’s alignment with their model of developing young players into regular starters. However, his vast experience is still viewed as a possible benefit for the team.
Should Vardy complete the move?
Wolves, on the other hand, have moved ahead in the chase for Vardy’s services, taking advantage of Leeds’ uncertainty. The Midlands outfit are now ready to move quickly to complete the transfer.
A switch to Wolves could offer Vardy a new opportunity and a platform to showcase his abilities once more in the Premier League.
They play a system that could suit Vardy’s speed and scoring instinct, particularly on the break.
His leadership and winning mentality could prove crucial for a Wolves side that have struggled in the top flight.
