Football transfer rumours: Vardy to Everton? Eriksen to Barcelona?

Today’s tell-all would like to thank the Academy

Weekend reports in the Mirror declared it was decided at a recent Everton recruitment meeting to make the signing of Jamie Vardy the club’s top priority this summer. Everton fans could scarcely be more disgruntled at the moment and travelling die-hards made their dissatisfaction with Sam Allardyce abundantly clear in the wake of their latest defeat away from home on Saturday, the club’s sixth in a row on the road. While Cenk Tosun scored in defeat against Burnley, the Turkish striker is not seen as the answer to Everton’s toothlessness in front of goal and Vardy has been identified as a replacement. Whether or not the 31-year-old, who has over two years remaining on his contract and previously turned down a move to Arsenal in favour of staying with Leicester, is interested in a move remains to be seen.
