Jamie Vardy receives Rangers thumbs up amid ‘through the roof’ transfer
Vardy is a free agent after leaving Leicester City in style with his 200th goal in his 500th – and final appearance – for the club
Jamie Vardy signing for Rangers would put expectations “through the roof” at Ibrox.
That’s the view of former manager Tony Pulis, who insists Vardy “will not be short of offers” after leaving Leicester City.
Vardy is a free agent now his contract at the King Power Stadium has expired.
He signed off in style at City with his 200th goal in his 500th – and final appearance – for the club.
He has been linked with a move to Scottish giants Rangers, who have new owners and a new manager in Russell Martin, while there has also been speculation he will stay in the Premier League or move to the MLS.
“If Jamie Vardy went to Rangers he would be joining a huge rivalry, they have new owners and will want to invest into the team to make things more competitive,” said Pulis.
“Russell Martin is at a massive, massive football club and that comes with expectations. If he does bring big names in, that will go through the roof.
“Brendan Rodgers has done an unbelievable job at Celtic and Russell will be under enormous pressure to get closer to them next year.
“Jamie Vardy will not be short of offers. You don’t know whether he’s waiting for another Premier League club to come in for him, but he’s been a fantastic player.
“Taking Leicester to the Premier League title, winning the FA Cup, he is a fit lad and doesn’t look to have put any weight on. I’m sure he will have something on his mind.
“He’ll have a preference and he might be waiting to see what offers he gets, but he will have options all over the world.”
