Leicester City did the impossible by winning the 2015/16 Premier League title in an extremely dramatic manner when Chelsea defeated Tottenham. Vardy's performance in that particular season was extremely exceptional, as he caught the attention of some of the most prestigious clubs in world football.

In the very next season, there was no surprise that the English international would be departing for a bigger name and Arsenal were ready to offer all that it took in order to secure the signature of the league top scorer.

The Gunners offered Vardy a long-term contract and was being looked like a replacement for their struggling striker Oliver Giroud. However, he decided not to take the contract and stay at Leicester with Mahrez and co. The Leicester City fans were extremely delighted to hear this particular news, as he has been a part of the club since then.
