Liverpool favourites to sign £25m Jamie Vardy

Jamie Vardy

Newspaper reports today claim that Liverpool are “leading the race” to sign Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy.

The 29-year-old hitman is of course attracting attention as a result of his impressive form this season and Liverpool are amongst the clubs who are mooted to be looking at him.

A media source is quotes as saying: “Vardy is the right fit for Liverpool.

“He would suit their high-intensity game under Klopp, he runs the channels and he’s now demonstrated his goalscoring ability at the highest level.

“As a result of his success this season, all the big clubs are looking at him.

“But Liverpool look to be the favourites – if he decides to leave Leicester.”

We know that Reds’ boss Jürgen Klopp is a fan of the player. During a press conference back in December he named him as the Premier League player of the season so far but we would pay little attention to today’s specific reports.

Splashing out £25million on a 29-year-old doesn’t seem very Liverpool-like and there are others that the manager has short-listed, Iñaki Williams being an example.

However, never say never. We have had Vardy listed on our Liverpool Rumours page for some time but our reported interest in him today won’t see us change his status purely because the original source is most definitely not credible.
