Roy Hodgson 'tells Jamie Vardy to focus on England amid rumours of Arsenal move'

Hodgson 'tells Vardy to focus on England'

England manager Roy Hodgson has reportedly made it clear to Jamie Vardy that he needs to focus on Euro 2016 rather than deliberating over a move to Arsenal.

The Leicester City striker, who scored 24 Premier League goals in the team's historic title-winning campaign, is believed to be considering a £20m move to the Gunners.

It was reported that Vardy planned to make up his mind before flying to France with England on Monday, but the Three Lions touched down in Chantilly with the 29-year-old's future still up in the air.

According to The Independent, Arsenal may have to anxiously wait for Vardy's decision as Hodgson has informed the players that their sole focus should be on the European Championships.

Vardy has already had some leeway from Hodgson as he was given three days off to get married around a fortnight ago.
