The English Premier League club, Leicester City, announced today, Saturday, that it has extended the contract of its veteran striker Jamie Vardy for one year, to continue the link between the two parties until June 2024.
And some reports talked about the possibility of Vardy, 35, moving to Manchester United.
Vardy joined Leicester City from the amateur team Fleetwood Town in 2012 and is currently ranked third in the team’s historical scorer list with 164 goals scored in 387 games in all competitions.
“I’m certainly very happy,” Vardy said on the Leicester website. “I never hesitated to sign.
“The decision was easy. Because I’ve been here for so long that I see myself as part of the furniture.”
Vardy scored 17 goals in all competitions last season and played a prominent role in the club winning the Premier League title in the 2015-2016 season, as well as winning the FA Cup in the 2020-2021 season.
Leicester did not qualify for any victory in the first two rounds of the current Premier League season and will meet its guest Southampton in the third round later on Saturday.
