Jamie Vardy will continue to terrorize Premier League defenses next season, extending his stay at Leicester City with a new one-year deal, subject to Premier League approval. This deal will see Vardy, who turns 38 in January, play beyond his 38th birthday.
The veteran striker’s renewal is a significant boost for Foxes fans after his impressive contribution to their Championship-winning season, where he scored 20 goals in 37 appearances, including four in the final four games. Vardy, Leicester’s third all-time leading scorer with 190 goals in 464 appearances, aims to break the 200-goal barrier in his 13th campaign with the club.
Meanwhile, Kelechi Iheanacho, Vardy’s potential successor, is leaving the club after scoring 61 goals in seven seasons. Other departures include Marc Albrighton and Dennis Praet, while Jannik Vestergaard has extended his contract until 2027. Vardy expressed his delight, emphasizing the team’s hard work and the joy of celebrating with fans. Leicester remains in talks with midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, whose contract expires soon.
