Arsenal have now asked Leicester about the winger who was only signed for £400,000 from Le Havre just over 12 months ago.

His value has since rocketed to £25million and Leicester City Claudio Ranieri is keen to keep hold of  the winger and striker, Jamie Vardy.

“I spoke to the two guys, we continue together, we can improve. Maybe at end of the season we can speak. We are in good flight now,” Ranieri said at a press conference last week.

“I don't wait for their answer! If they believe in me – follow me.

“I didn't speak with my owner. But he knows very well my idea, it is also his idea. For them there is a contract which they must respect.”
