  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    The 38-year-old announced this season would be his final one at Leicester after 13 years there, following their relegation from the Premier League. However, Sunday's clash against fellow relegated side Ipswich Town will be his last, even though they round off the campaign at Bournemouth on May 25.

    THE EXPLANATION

    According to BBC Sport, Vardy will end his Leicester career at the King Power Stadium rather than in the final game of the season at Bournemouth. The club has announced the veteran's 500th appearance for the Foxes will be his last, giving him what he hopes will be a perfect send-off this weekend.

  • WHAT VARDY SAID

    Vardy has been urged to join Championship newboys Wrexham, amid links with Major League Soccer. But the former England international still believes he can deliver in the Premier League and wants to play on for a while yet.

    Asked if he had doubts about being able to perform at the highest level, he told Sky Sports: "No, but that's just me. Football is a crazy world. You never know what's going to happen. I'll keep going until my legs tell me I need to stop. My legs are fine. I'm doing a sport that I love, it's what I've done since I was a little kid so long may that continue."
