Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has a £25 million release clause in his contract according to Bleacher Report, which could well be of interest to West Ham United.
The Hammers were linked with an audacious summer bid for the England international last week, but it is widely believed that the sprightly attacker will stay with the newly crowned Premier League champions.
Vardy has become a cult figure at the King Power Stadium after coming from non-league football to spearhead their march to the Premier League.
The gifted centre forward’s goals played a major role in the Foxes becoming English champions for the first time in their history in 2015-16 and Vardy is widely acknowledged as one of the most feared strikers in the division.
West Ham are in the market for a new number nine and as such a £25 million bid for Vardy could well be an option should the release clause be in place.
