AliousWolves Take Lead in Pursuit of “Incredible” 243-Goal Striker Jamie Vardy in Bold Summer Move
Wolverhampton Wanderers have emerged as the frontrunners in the race to land veteran striker Jamie Vardy this summer, with the former England international expected to leave Leicester City as a free agent at the end of the season.
As Wolves gear up for what could be a transformative transfer window under manager Vitor Pereira, reinforcements up front are high on the agenda—especially amid growing uncertainty surrounding Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian forward, who has tallied 17 goals and six assists across 33 appearances this season, is being tracked by Manchester United, Arsenal, Aston Villa, and clubs in Saudi Arabia. Although Cunha signed a new contract earlier this year, speculation continues to swirl over a potential exit.
With Jørgen Strand Larsen only recently returning to action and Hwang Hee-chan struggling to regain form, Wolves are believed to be prioritizing depth and experience in their attack. The need for reliable rotational options has grown increasingly urgent as the club looks to balance Premier League demands with domestic cup campaigns.
According to *Football Insider*, Wolves now sit in ‘pole position’ to sign Jamie Vardy, who has scored a remarkable 243 goals in 568 appearances across his storied career. With his contract at Leicester expiring and the Foxes relegated under new boss Ruud van Nistelrooy, the 38-year-old is reportedly keen to remain in the Premier League rather than drop down a division.
Wolves are said to be making the strongest push for Vardy’s signature, outpacing competition from Leeds United and Wrexham—both of whom have concerns about the striker’s age and long-term viability. However, with Wolves potentially offering a Premier League platform and a key bench role under Pereira, the move is gathering serious momentum.
Though some may question the wisdom of signing an aging striker, others argue Vardy’s experience, goal-scoring instinct, and leadership qualities could prove invaluable as Wolves seek to retool their attack for 2025/26. If secured, Vardy would arrive on a free transfer, representing a low-risk, high-reward option as the Old Gold look to add firepower without breaking the bank.
