Jamie Vardy decided to snub a move to Arsenal as he was not convinced they play the right style of football to suit his game, according to Sky Sports.

Leicester announced on Thursday that the England forward has agreed a new four-year deal at the club, which he will sign once he is back from Euro 2016.

Sky sources understand Vardy's decision was based on his belief that his game would not suit Arsenal's possession-hungry style of football having flourished under the counter-attacking style of Claudio Ranieri's side last season.

The 29-year-old was also swayed by his belief that Leicester have something special as a squad and can not only mount a solid defence of their Premier League title, but make an impact on the Champions League.

Vardy was also not given guarantees by Wenger that he would not be played out of position at the Emirates.
