Jamie Vardy spotted at Leicester City and it's got many Foxes fans talking | OneFootball

Jamie Vardy has been spotted training at Leicester City following his Cremonese exit

Leicester City are preparing for life in League One after suffering back-to-back relegations.

The Foxes finished 23rd in the Championship table last season, just 12 months on from their 18th place result in the top flight.

A six point deduction penalty for breaching the profit and sustainability rules played a crucial role in their relegation, with the team coming five points adrift of safety.

The Leicestershire outfit will now be aiming to get back to the second tier at the first time of asking following the appointment of Russell Martin as head coach.

The 40-year-old has previously coached the likes of Swansea City, Southampton and Rangers, and he worked in League One with MK Dons in the past.

Leicester are aiming to be in the mix for automatic promotion, but they will face stiff competition in what could be a tricky year ahead for the club.

Former Leicester striker Jamie Vardy has posted a video on Instagram of himself training at the club’s facilities following his exit from Cremonese.

The forward is currently without a club just 12 months on from his departure from the King Power Stadium, having left the Italian club after only one season.

And his free agency has sparked speculation over his future, and a possible return to the League One side.

Vardy cemented his legacy as a club legend during his first stint with the team, leading them to promotion in 2014 and 2023, as well as the 2016 Premier League title and the 2021 FA Cup.

He established himself as an England international, representing England at Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

How Leicester City fans have reacted to Jamie Vardy training at Leicester

Leicester fans have reacted to the new footage of Vardy training at the club’s facilities, with some urging him to make a return to the King Power, even if it is in a coaching capacity.

Even just seeing him in the new gear and back at his old stomping ground has fans emotional.

However, other supporters have warned that they shouldn’t get their hopes up regarding a possible return, suggesting that it’s unlikely the 39-year-old would want to compete in League One.

Meanwhile, some have alluded to his difficult relationship with Jon Rudkin, joking that he must not have been working at the training ground that day.

Vardy previously responded to a fan cryptically when asked if the club’s director of football was the problem, indicating that the pair don’t see eye-to-eye.

Jamie Vardy return is a tease for Leicester fans

Leicester fans would no doubt love to see Vardy back in the side, not only because of his legendary status but also because he could still contribute to their success.

However, any return at this stage still seems unlikely, and it’s more probable that his healthy relationship with the Foxes has allowed for him to use their training facilities.

The experienced forward still has plenty to offer after scoring seven goals in Serie A last season, so it remains to be seen whether he’d even be interested in a move to League One at this stage.
