​Vardy ignoring transfer speculation to concentrate on Leicester top four finish

Leicester striker, and the joint top scorer in the Premier League, Jamie Vardy, says his priority is the Foxes and a top four placing.

Sky Sports understand Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United are monitoring any developments regarding the future of the 28-year-old, who has two-and-a-half years left to run on his current deal at the King Power Stadium.

"You have seen what is going on at this club, it is building in a way they want to be challenging at the top all the time," he told the Leicester Mercury.

"We will keep doing what we are doing all the time on the training field and see where it takes us.

"We have reached 40 points. That is what the boss wanted us to achieve first and we have done that now and will see what his next objective is.

"We just want to keep doing as well as we have been doing and take each game as it comes.

"Who knows, if we have another second half of the season like the first we will be there or thereabouts.

"That is how this league has been up to now so we will take each game as it comes.

"It would be brilliant [to finish in the top four] but we will just be doing exactly what we have been doing, which is looking to the next game.

"We will look to try and pick the points up and then look to the next one."
