Danny Simpson: 'Everyone at Leicester City wants Jamie Vardy to stay put'

Leicester City defender Danny Simpson urges teammate and England striker Jamie Vardy to stay with the Premier League champions amid reported interest from Arsenal.

Leicester City defender Danny Simpson has urged teammate Jamie Vardy to stay with the Premier League champions for at least one more season.

The 29-year-old England striker has reportedly been the subject of a £20m bid from Arsenal, but his representatives have told the Gunners that he wants to focus on Euro 2016 at the moment.

"I have spoken to Jamie. Everyone wants him to stay. We would like everyone to stay, even if it's just for one more year," Simpson told BBC Sport.

"It's his decision, and he says he wants to concentrate on the European Championships. Jamie knows what I think of him as a lad and a player.

"No money can buy the bond that we have got at the club. It's a special group. Why not carry on and kick on as a group and squad?"

Leicester will take part in the Champions League for the first time in their history next season.
