Jamie Vardy delays decision on Arsenal move until after the Euros

Arsenal target Jamie Vardy has reassured Roy Hodgson he is fully focused on England - even though he has delayed a decision on his future until after the Euros . 

England coach Roy Hodgson has held crunch talks with Vardy after Arsenal launched a £20m bid for the Leicester striker to leave his future uncertain. 

Hodgson was clearly worried whether it would affect Vardy ahead of England’s opener with Russia on Saturday but the 29-year-old insisted it will not be a distraction. 

It comes as Vardy’s representatives also told Arsenal they will have to wait until after the European Championships before deciding on his future so he can focus on England. 

Arsenal must now decide to pursue Vardy or look at different targets as their chances appear to be fading despite triggering his buy-out clause and offering him £120,000-a-week in a four year deal. 

Leicester have come back with a counter offer worth £100,000-a-week and are hopeful that he will stay at the King Power Stadium.
