Jamie Vardy’s future is in the spotlight as he prepares to leave Leicester City this summer
Wrexham have ruled out signing Jamie Vardy as the Leicester City icon’s search for his next club begins.
Hollywood-backed Wrexham have been one of the most prominent clubs linked to Vardy since it was announced that he would be leaving City.
Vardy himself cast doubt over such a move last week, suggesting he wouldn’t play for a Championship club that wasn’t City, with Wrexham one of the 23 clubs to be visiting the King Power Stadium in the league next season following their third straight promotion.
The 38-year-old has said he wants to continue playing at the top level, and may yet have suitors in the Premier League after nine goals and four assists this season.
Speaking on Radio X on Tuesday morning, Wrexham community director Humphrey Ker was asked if the Welsh club had a desire to sign Vardy, to which he said no.
Ker said there is rampant speculation around Wrexham because of the media interest in them, but it was Ker himself who said a year ago that they could target a player like Vardy.
Asked if Wrexham were trying to sign Vardy, Ker said: “No. Wrexham generates clicks so we’ve started getting linked with absolutely everybody.
“I see our fans getting incandescent on Twitter about us trying to sign a player but then it will be someone none of us have heard of before.
“(Fulham’s) Tom Cairney is the specific instance. We haven’t had that conversation yet.”
