Jamie Vardy has revealed how he made the
tough decision to turn down a move to
Arsenal before bumping into Gunners boss
Arsene Wenger during Euro 2016.
Vardy was left in his hotel room weighing up
a move to Emirates Stadium after the north
London club triggered his release clause.
The former non-league star rejected
Wenger's overtures and eventually signed a
new deal with Leicester - something he said
always felt like the right thing to do.
"I was in a hotel room for many hours of
every day with nothing to do," he said.
"You had a lot of time on your hands. I am
not going to beat around the bush - every
time I thought about it, and every aspect of it
I thought about, both my head and my heart
were saying to stay, which is why I made my
decision to stay.
"Deep down if you don't think it is right move
for you, you don't do it. It is as simple as
that. You get that much time to think about
every single thing down to the tea lady.
"You think about what might happen, what
might not, where you could be, where not.
Every time I thought about every little thing,
both head and heart were saying, 'You need
to stay'.
"In my professional life it was the hardest
decision. It was hard but, like I said, when it
came to my head and my heart it was an
easy decision."
