Jamie Vardy wants a move to Celtic after leaving Leicester City | OneFootball

Former Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy wants a move to Celtic after leaving the Premier League, according to the Scottish Sun.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has been crying out for another forward, and the 38-year-old Englishman is keen to reunite with him at the Parkhead club this summer.

However, the Hoops will face competition from West Ham United, Brentford and Wrexham for Vardy.

Celtic have Adam Idah in their ranks, but the addition of the veteran number nine to their attack would be huge.

An opportunity to play European football with the Bhoys and also win domestic silverware would appeal to Vardy, and a move could be on the cards.

He made 35 Premier League appearances last term, weighing in with nine goals and four assists, and he could be a hit with Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.

Vardy bagged 18 goals in 35 Championship games to help Leicester secure promotion at the end of the 2023-24 campaign.

Celtic will be playing in the league phase of the Champions League if they beat Kazakhstan Premier League club FC Kairat in the play-off, and Vardy will be keeping tabs on the situation.

Playing in the elite European competition as he nears retirement will appeal to the maverick striker, and fans would be delighted to have him at the club.

He brings almost 20 years of football to the table, and Idah and co could learn a thing or two from the 2015-16 Premier League winner.
