Swansea shocker! Laudrup rejected Vardy; Bolasie snubbed for £20k!

Swansea could've signed Leicester City star Jamie Vardy three years ago.

WalesOnline reports Liberty chairman Huw Jenkins revealed to fans recently that Vardy was offered to the club in 2012 though then manager Michael Laudrup opted against signing the player for a fee believed to be in the region of £800,000.

Vardy subsequently made the switch from non-league Fleetwood to Leicester for £1m and hasn't looked back since.

Jenkins has also revealed to fans Swans turned down Crystal Palace dazzler Yannick Bolasie for just £20,000 when he was at Plymouth.
