Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy is ready to sign a new contract with the club according to reports.
The 29-year old has been central to Leicester’s success story which sees the club three points clear at the top of the Premier League with 15 games remaining.
Vardy has scored 16 goals in the Foxes’ 23 league games this term and is ready to sign a new contract at the King Power Stadium.
Reports suggest he will pen a new deal keeping him at the club until 2019.
Vardy will also earn a significant salary increase in the process, improving on his current £40,000 a week contract.
With interest high during the January transfer window in the Premier League’s top scorer the news will come as a relief to the club’s fans as Claudio Ranieri looks to keep hold of his star man.
Vardy is likely to feature in Leicester’s home clash with Liverpool tonight.
