Leicester City are on the brink of securing a new contract with one of their key players as they prepare for their return to the Premier League as champions of the Championship.

The Foxes sealed the league title with a decisive 3-0 victory over Preston North End, capping off what has been an impressive season in the second tier. They now have one final home game against Blackburn Rovers to end the season on a high note.

Enzo Maresca’s squad has rallied in their last three matches after facing some tough losses earlier in the season. Ipswich Town could also be joining Leicester in the Premier League if they manage to avoid defeat in their upcoming match against Huddersfield Town.

Jamie Vardy has been instrumental in Leicester’s success, scoring four goals in his last three games and a total of 18 in the Championship this season. The 37-year-old’s contract is set to expire in the summer, but reports suggest that he is close to reaching an agreement on a new deal with the club.

Speculation arose about Vardy’s future earlier in the season, but his stellar performance on the pitch has silenced any doubts. The seasoned striker has been with Leicester for 12 years, amassing 463 appearances and an impressive 190 goals.

Despite his age, Vardy shows no signs of slowing down, and his remarkable form has been a driving force behind Leicester’s success. As he approaches his 38th birthday, the club and fans alike hope for another fruitful season with Vardy leading the attack.

While Vardy’s age may raise concerns for some, his ongoing success and valuable contributions make him an indispensable asset to Leicester. With plans to bolster their attacking options in the upcoming season, Vardy’s role in the team may evolve, but his commitment and passion for the game remain unwavering.

As negotiations for his new contract near completion, Vardy and Leicester City are poised to continue their successful partnership and aim for a strong debut in the Premier League.
