Leeds United have reportedly expressed interest in signing veteran striker Jamie Vardy, who is set to become a free agent following his departure from Leicester City. Vardy, 38, concluded a remarkable 13-year tenure with the Foxes, during which he scored nearly 200 goals and played a pivotal role in their historic 2016 Premier League title win .
Leeds’ admiration for Vardy dates back to his non-league days, with fans urging the club to sign him as early as 2011 . Former manager Marcelo Bielsa also reportedly held Vardy in high regard, appreciating his relentless work ethic and goal-scoring prowess.
Despite his age, Vardy remains a potent attacking threat. In the 2023/24 season, he netted 20 goals in 37 appearances, helping Leicester secure promotion back to the Premier League . His experience and leadership could prove invaluable for Leeds as they aim to bolster their attacking options.
While Vardy has attracted interest from clubs abroad, including MLS sides and Turkish outfit Trabzonspor , a move to Leeds would allow him to continue playing at a competitive level in England. As the summer transfer window approaches, Leeds fans will be eager to see if the club can secure the services of the seasoned striker.
