Before the summer, Leicester City and one of their top players are almost done negotiating a new contract.
After an all-around strong season in the second division, Leicester City is making a triumphant return to the Premier League as the Championship’s winners.
With a 3-0 victory over Preston North End on Monday night, the Foxes secured the league crown. This weekend, they will play Blackburn Rovers at home to wrap up their season.
After losing consecutive games, Enzo Maresca’s team has now won three in a row.
If Ipswich Town can avoid losing this weekend at home against 23rd-place Huddersfield Town, they will likely join Leicester City in the Premier League. Leeds United is now in fourth position, three points behind the Tractor Boys.
Both teams have kept Leicester City on their toes this season and at one point, it looked like Leicester could’ve missed out on the top two altogether.
And Jamie Vardy’s current excellent form has undoubtedly propelled the Foxes over the finish line.
The 37-year-old has scored eighteen goals in the Championship this season, including four in his previous three outings.
Vardy’s contract expires in the summer, and while there has been some discussion about what will happen to him, it appears that he and Leicester City are almost ready to reach an agreement.
Jamie Vardy and Leicester City are almost ready to sign a new deal.
Strangely enough, reports from the national, reliable source L’Equipe in France claim that Vardy and Leicester City are almost certain to reach an agreement on a new contract.
The same source suggests that Vardy, who has been with Leicester City for 12 years and has made 463 appearances while scoring an incredible 190 goals, may have one more season left.
Before the season began, there were doubts about Vardy’s ability to continue playing at the same caliber and scoring goals in the competitive Championship division.
However, he has disproved all of his naysayers with an outstanding season that has just gotten better.
