Jamie Vardy in transfer link that really would give Red Bull-loving star wings

Jamie Vardy is known for loving a can of Red Bull before matches, which certainly gave him wings at Leicester City.

But it is understood the City legend is not a transfer target for New York Red Bulls.

Vardy will leave the Foxes when his contract at the King Power Stadium expires this summer, having signed off in style with his 200th goal in his 500th appearance.

It has been claimed the striker wants to stay in the Premier League, while Gary Lineker says he can see Vardy moving to America to play in the MLS.

Vardy has been linked with a move to New York, but amNewYork report there is “nothing brewing” between the MLS club and Vardy.

Lineker made his MLS destination prediction as he paid tribute to Vardy.

Speaking on the Rest is Football podcast with Alan Shearer and Micah Richards, he said: "I'd like to just thank Jamie for all he's done for Leicester City Football Club. He's inimitable.

“He can be a bit of a ****house at times on the pitch for everyone, but I always think in a brilliant way. He's been one of the game's great finishers.

"He's done some incredible things. He was part of obviously the title winning team in 2016 and then the FA Cup winning team as well.

“He's been incredibly consistent and has very much been an absolute hero of all Leicester City fans. So thank you, Jamie Vardy, and good luck with whatever comes next.”
