Former Leicester City star and Premier League champion Jamie Vardy is on the verge of joining Serie A`s newly-promoted team Cremonese, according to multiple Italian media sources.
Sky Sport Italia reports that Vardy has given his approval for a move to Cremonese on a free transfer, following the end of his contract with Leicester City last season. The final details of the agreement are currently being worked out, with the 38-year-old striker expected to arrive in Italy soon to finalize the deal.
Vardy has been an integral part of Leicester City for the past 13 years, with nine of those seasons spent in the Premier League. During his time with the Foxes, he amassed an impressive 200 goals in 500 appearances across all competitions.
The English forward is one of only 34 players to have scored over 100 Premier League goals, currently ranking 14th in the league`s all-time top scorers list with 145 goals in 342 matches. His most notable achievement came in 2016 when he played a crucial role in Leicester City`s unexpected Premier League title victory.
This potential move to Cremonese marks an exciting new chapter in Vardy`s career, as he prepares to test his skills in one of Europe`s top leagues at an advanced stage in his playing days.
