Transfer balls: Kante to Chelsea, Vardy verbally agrees to join Arsenal and remain at Leicester

by | 15th, July 2016

And so begins the break-up of the Leicester City team that one with Premier League. The Telegraph says Chelsea have agreed to sign Leicester midfielder N’Golo Kante, 25, at the weekend for £29m. Kante, we read, will soon tell Foxes manager Claudio Ranieri he wants to leave Leicester.

Of course nothing has been decided. Kante has signed no contract.

Jamie Vardy, Kante’s Leicester team-mate rejected a £20m move to Arsenal and committed to Leicester earlier this summer. Or did he?

The Express told readers on June 7, “Jamie Vardy verbally agrees three-year Arsenal deal”.

Today the Express says, “Arsenal have already missed out on Jamie Vardy, who has verbally agreed a new contract with Leicester.”

Verbal agreements appear to be no agreements at all. Can we deduce from the news that Vardy to Arsenal remains on?
