Jamie Vardy has been offered the chance to stay at Leicester to add to his Premier League goal tally. Following his two goals that helped secure the Championship title for Leicester, the 34-year-old is out of contract this summer but shows no signs of retirement. Manager Enzo Maresca expressed his desire to keep Vardy, citing his consistent goal-scoring ability as a valuable asset to the team. Leicester’s promotion was confirmed after second-placed Leeds suffered a loss, and they now have the opportunity to reach 100 points in their final match against Blackburn this Saturday.
Maresca expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance, describing the season as tough and intense, but ultimately deserving of their success. Maresca also shared details of the team’s celebratory party, mentioning that the players unexpectedly joined the coaching staff at his house, extending the festivities into the early hours of the morning. Despite the celebrations, the team remained focused on their upcoming game. Preston manager Ryan Lowe praised Leicester’s performance and acknowledged the challenge of facing a strong team like Leicester.
He highlighted the need for his team to improve their defensive play to avoid conceding goals in a similar manner in the future.
