Jamie Vardy opens up on just how close Arsene Wenger came to convincing him to join Arsenal :
"He jumped the gun, didn't he? I was just trying to prepare to go to the Euros, and I get a phone call from my agent saying, 'Arsenal are interested in signing you. I've told them to wait, that you are focusing on England, and just wait until it's finished'
And then literally two days later they've lodged a bid and Leicester obviously couldn't reject it.
So I'm like, 'F---ing hell', I've got a few days off and my two days off involved going to see Arsene at his house and everything he was saying was selling the club.
Jump on the plane [to meet up with England], and you've got Jack Wilshere, who was with me at England and he goes, 'You signing for us?' And I'm like, 'F---ing hell, give me a yard...'
I think it was three days later I literally just rung Becs [Vardy's wife] up and was like, 'I'm not going'
