Fans react to rumours linking Jamie Vardy to Everton
Leicester City frontman Jamie Vardy is reportedly linked with a move to Everton this summer.
Everton have made Vardy their first choice to replace Romelu Lukaku, should the 24-year-old Belgian depart Goodison Park this summer.
Lukaku’s future at the Merseyside outfit looks uncertain, with Premier League rivals Manchester United and Chelsea both interested in his services following his comments towards the end of last season that he has a desire to ‘win trophies’.
According to the Express, the Toffees boss Ronald Koeman has earmarked the 30-year-old Vardy as Lukaku replacement.
Vardy caught the attention with his aggressive playing style in the 2014-15 campaign as the Foxes secured a shocking Premier League title, and subsequently turned down a tempting move to Arsenal, instead signing a new £100,000-a-week contract extension to remain at the King Power stadium.
However, the England international has struggled for goals and later in the final few months of the campaign he scored eight goals in the last 12 league games.
Unsurprisingly, Everton fans shared their opinions on Twitter about signing him in..
If Everton sign Jamie Vardy they will regret it
