Transfer Gossip: Everton hijack Chelsea's Vardy move Arsenal target 75m Asensio new Liverpool Coutinho deadline - Yahoo Sports

It’s unlikely there will be any scenes from Leicester’s 2016/17 or 2017/18 seasons in Jamie Vardy: The Movie, which is still apparently in production.

Alternatively, Vardy is also reported to be the subject of a £40m bid from Chelsea, and there is always dramatic stuff happening there. Either way, it’s good news for Hollywood.
