The striker’s scintillating form has warranted a new contract

Jamie Vardy is set to sign a new £70,000-a-week contract at Leicester City that will keep him at the club until at least 2019.

The 29-year old will become the Foxes’ highest earner if he puts pen-to-paper on the deal that would see him earn up to £12 million.

Vardy was only collecting £100 a game just three years ago, when he represented Fleetwood Town on a part-time basis during their Non-League days.

But now he is one of the Premier League’s most dangerous players and the centre forward is aiming to be in Roy Hodgson’s England plans for Euro 2016.

Progress

“Yes, Leicester match my ambitions. I think the gaffer has come in and told the owners what he wants to do and he wants to keep progressing,” said Vardy.

“He wants to progress on what we did last year and then, in the years to come, he wants to keep us going up and up and up.”

The former Halifax Town man helped league leaders Leicester defeat Liverpool tonight – taking all the headlines by scoring two excellent goals in a 2-0 home victory.
