Jamie Vardy's wife Rebekah says that the Leicester City striker will make the "right" decision for his career as he deliberates over joining Arsenal.

Jamie Vardy's wife Rebekah has claimed that the Leicester City striker will make the "right" call with regards to a potential move to Arsenal.

The 29-year-old, who scored 24 Premier League goals in Leicester's historic title-winning campaign, is deliberating over a £20m switch to the Emirates.

Vardy is expected to make a final decision after Euro 2016, but some reports have claimed that the England international will reject the Gunners in favour of remaining at the King Power Stadium.

Today, Vardy's new bride responded to the transfer rumours while making an appearance on ITV's Good Morning Britain.

"Listen, all I can say is Jamie is a grown man, whatever he decides will be right for him in all terms," Rebekah Vardy told hosts Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway.

"Whether it's the right decision or the wrong decision or indifferent. It's his decision and only he can make that."

Vardy, who joined Leicester from Fleetwood Town for £1m in 2012, signed a new long-term contract with the Foxes in February.
