Jamie Vardy has announced that he will leave Leicester City at the end of the season, and already the transfer betting odds have emerged for his next club - with some interesting options being overlooked.
The latest transfer betting odds for Jamie Vardy's next club are listed below. Odds stated were correct at the time of writing.
With Jamie Vardy announcing his departure from Leicester City this summer, there will be a number of clubs sniffing to try and bring a Premier League record-holder to their club. As a result, the betting picture is quite wide, but there may be a bit of a chance to spot some value.
At present, the odds are rather generous, and with Vardy not planning to hang up his boots anytime soon, there is a feeling that he could try and be a big player for someone else before wrapping up his career.
So, let's dive into things.
Leading the betting market for Jamie Vardy's next club is Wrexham, and whilst it makes sense, it also feels like a slight bit of a cop out. The Englishman would be a great fit for the Red Dragons, both in terms of him as a player and personality.
Imaginably, the club would be able to stump up the cash for his wage demands, too, which makes them a fitting candidate. However, the striker's ambitions may be slightly higher, with the greatest respect, or even closer to home.
That being said, a favourite being 2/1 reads a lot about the rest of the market.

It certainly would not be a shock to see Vardy head over to America, and reports even suggested that a move across the pond may be possible before his exit announcement. So the price of 12/1 does seem slightly high.
In addition to this, no 'exacts' are mentioned, so you're getting a blanket price that offers a little less risk. We have previously seen a lot of English players at this stage of their careers make the move across the pond, so it wouldn't be a surprise.

The idea of Vardy at least does make a lot of sense in fairness, considering both have a knack for being a bit disliked at points. So in many ways, it does seem like a bit of a match made in heaven.
However, the Englishman struggled in the Premier League this season, and I can't see Leeds taking the punt on him, but there is another reason which we'll touch on next.

A move to Leeds would probably be frowned upon, simply because he is a boyhood Wednesdayite, and for me, the price of 16/1 looks like a real price of intrigue. If he is going to drop a division, I'd certainly be considering Wednesday as an option.
It would allow Vardy to move back home, which you would imagine he wouldn't turn down at this stage of his career, whilst also giving him a bit of a romantic end to his career. He is, of course, 16/1 for a reason, but I feel like the odds are slightly harsh...
