Jamie Vardy could return to Premier League with West Ham
Former Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy is the target of West Ham for a stunning Premier League return. After a season in Serie A with US Cremonese, where he scored 7 goals in 29 appearances, the 39-year-old could be set to wear an English club’s shirt again. The Lombard side, currently 18th in Serie A with 8 points (1W-5D-5L), is reorganizing after last season’s relegation.
Why is West Ham targeting Vardy?
Despite already having players like Pablo and Taty Castellanos, West Ham is looking for an experienced striker to strengthen the squad. Vardy, with his experience and goal-scoring instinct, could be the ideal solution for manager Nuno, who is trying to avoid mistakes in the transfer market.
What has Vardy said about his career?
Vardy recently dismissed rumors of a return to Sheffield Wednesday, stating: "Once I was let go, that chapter was closed. It was never meant to be." The player, who scored 200 goals in 500 games for Leicester, is determined to play at least one more professional season.
What happens next?
West Ham, backed by parachute payment funds, is in a strong position to offer Vardy a lucrative contract. Meanwhile, US Cremonese is trying to improve its league position, with 11 goals scored and 18 conceded (-7 goal difference), 18 points behind leaders Palmeiras.
