The Premier League highest goal scorer in 2016 had the chance to join the Gunners this summer but instead opted to extend his contract at Leicester.
Jamie Vardy has revealed the reason behind his surprise decision to snub Arsenal in favour of remaining at Leicester. Many thought he was heading to the Emirates in June when Arsenal activated his £20m release clause.
He said :'I had a lot of time on my hands. 'I literally thought about every single little thing, down to the tea lady. 'You think about what might happen, what might not, where you could be, where not. 'Every time I thought about every little thing, both head and heart were saying, 'you need to stay'. 'I kept bumping into Arsene Wenger at every hotel we stayed during the Euros. 'And I have also seen him since. 'There wasn't anything awkward. 'Just a single hello or how are you doing, that kind of thing.
Vardy said, 'it was the biggest decision of my professional life. 'Not that I've been a professional that long, and it was a nice compliment.
'But Leicester have been on the rise, and I think that will continue. 'We are like a band of brothers.
