I have to respect Vardy’s Leicester decision - Arsenal boss Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says he simply has to respect the decision made by Jamie Vardy.

The Leicester City striker turned down a lucrative offer from the Gunners earlier this summer in order to remain with the reigning Premier League champions.

Ahead of Saturday's King Power Stadium clash between the two clubs, Wenger was asked about the Vardy situation and he had a fairly simple response.

"I have not much more to say about that. I have to respect his decision," said the Frenchman.
