Vardy has no regrets in snubbing Gunners move

-

JAMIE Vardy believes he has been proven right to turn down Arsenal but would consider leaving Leicester if it meant winning more major trophies.

Vardy rejected a move to north London after clinching the Premier League title last year and says Leicester’s Champions League adventure, coupled with the Gunners’ struggles, have since vindicated his choice to stay.

Chelsea, however, were among a number of clubs interested in Vardy during the transfer window just gone and the 30-year-old admits he might act differentl­y if another offer arrived.

“I want to win as much as possible, I don’t want to only have one Premier League medal in my drawer at home — it would be an empty glass cabinet,” Vardy said.

“I’m contracted to Leicester and we will see how high we can go. In the future, who knows?”

Vardy added: “Just because I turned down Arsenal, that was my choice, but if another offer came in it would be the same in that I would look at it and work out the pros and cons.

“But no, turning down Arsenal doesn’t mean I wouldn’t look at another offer.”

Vardy said he was also eager to play in China or America “at some point down the road” but has no regrets about snubbing Arsenal, even if he missed out on winning the FA Cup.

“It wasn’t the Premier League was it? So we’re all right with that I think,” Vardy said. “I’ll never regret anything I’ve chosen to do.”

He added with a smile: “I’m a bit of a psychic, I could see the little downfall they are on now.
