Everton 'desperate for Jamie Vardy deal'

Leicester City forward Jamie Vardy is reportedly Everton's number one summer transfer target.

The Toffees are currently 10th in the Premier League table - just three points off eighth-placed Leicester, but their poor away form continued on Saturday as they suffered a 2-1 defeat at Burnley.

The Merseyside outfit will again reportedly spend big in this summer's transfer window, and according to The Mirror, Leicester and England forward Vardy is the club's leading target in the final third of the field.

Vardy, who is on £100,000 a week at Leicester, fired the Foxes to the 2015-16 Premier League title, and has netted 81 times in 224 appearances in all competitions for the club that he joined from Fleetwood Town in 2012.

The 31-year-old will be a part of the England squad that travels to the World Cup this summer.
