Jamie Vardy, the Leicester striker, assures fans that there is still more to expect from him after agreeing to a new contract with the Foxes.
In a surprising move, England manager Gareth Southgate has made the difficult decision to leave out Jack Grealish, James Maddison, and Harry Maguire from the Euro squad. This decision has sparked much debate among fans and pundits alike.
Meanwhile, in the Premier League, Jamie Vardy has committed to another season with Leicester City. The 37-year-old striker has signed a new one-year contract, extending his successful tenure at the club until June 2025.
Vardy expressed his delight at the new deal, stating that there is still more to come from him. Despite his age, the veteran forward believes that age is just a number and his legs still feel fine. He is determined to continue playing until his body tells him otherwise.
Leicester City fans will be thrilled to have Vardy leading the line for another season in the Premier League. The striker played a crucial role in helping the club secure promotion after relegation in the 2022/23 season, scoring 20 goals in all competitions.
Vardy’s impact on Leicester’s history cannot be understated. His 24 goals in the 2015/16 season were instrumental in the club’s remarkable Premier League title triumph. He even broke Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record by scoring in 11 consecutive Premier League games.
The striker’s goals continued to be vital for Leicester in the following seasons. He played a key role in their UEFA Champions League quarter-final run and helped the club lift their first-ever FA Cup trophy in the 2020/21 season.
Under the guidance of manager Brendan Rodgers, Leicester City has enjoyed consistent success, including consecutive top-five finishes and a Community Shield victory over Manchester City.
Vardy’s goal-scoring prowess has earned him a place in the history books. He currently sits 15th in the all-time list of Premier League goalscorers with 136 goals. With his new contract, he has the opportunity to climb even higher on that list.
As Vardy prepares for another season in the Premier League, England fans will be left wondering why he was not included in the Euro squad. Southgate’s decision to leave out Grealish, Maddison, and Maguire has raised eyebrows, and only time will tell if it was the right call.
