Jamie Vardy's wife hits back at Leicester City fans after striker snubs Arsenal move

Jamie Vardy’s wife has hit back at Leicester City fans who criticised the striker during his transfer saga with Arsenal.

The Gunners had activated the England international’s £20 million release clause before the 29-year-old stalled on his decision.

But Leicester have since confirmed that Vardy has decided to snub Arsenal’s offer and instead agree a new four-year contract with the Premier League champions.


And Vardy’s wife, Rebekah, has confronted supporters on Twitter who were annoyed at the striker for not immediately turning down Arsenal's advances.

“I wonder how many of you that slagged me/us off unnecessarily will now have the balls to apologise? Embarrassing,” she posted on Twitter.

“And thank you to all the Arsenal and ‘genuine’ Leicester fans (which I know is the majority) who have been completely supportive!”
