Ben Foster claims Jamie Vardy could sign for 15 different Premier League teams and tips five to make a move ASAP
Ben Foster has named the five Premier League teams Jamie Vardy would be best-suited for as he prepares to make a decision over his next club.
Out of contract in the summer, Vardy played his final game for Leicester City at the weekend - scoring his 200th goal on his 500 appearances for the Foxes and signing off in style at the King Power Stadium.
The 38-year-old announced his exit from Leicester with an emotional statement last month and given he still intends on continuing playing, is believed to have a number of options on the table.
Newly promoted Wrexham have been heavily linked with Vardy, though the club's executive director Humphrey Ker played down any talk in an appearance on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X.

The former England international reportedly had a lucrative offer to play abroad but Foster believes Premier League clubs should be queuing up for Vardy, who he believes can have a huge impact off the bench for the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Aston Villa.
"He could sign for 15 different teams, probably 15 Premier League teams," he said on the Fozcast last month when Vardy's departure was confirmed.
"Again, sort of like a Liam Delap scenario, he's not going to be the main man for anybody really.
"He's not going to play 32, 33 games. But what he will do is come off the bench for 30 minutes, 25 minutes and give you everything he's got.
"He can still do those runs in behind, those sneaky little runs in behind and score you goals. And he's a great lad as well.
"He can sign for all of them. Man United, I could see that. Arsenal, I could see that. Aston Villa, West Ham, Chelsea. Everybody, I could see it. I really could. It would not surprise me."
Vardy has been tipped to make a move to Scotland with Glasgow giants Rangers by club legend Ally McCoist, who said he "would take him in two minutes".
However, the TNT Sports pundit believes Vardy already has "something organised", possibly with a club across the pond in the MLS.
Richard Keys claims Jamie Vardy is in talks for shock transfer
Following up on that, former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys claims to have inside information of Vardy's next whereabouts.
In his latest blog post, Keys claims Vardy is set for a 'cross town transfer that would cause a real storm' and reports that there will be a development this week.
"I’ll leave you with a little teaser," he revealed.
"Stand by for a cross town transfer that would cause a real storm, but at the same time be good for all parties. This week will determine whether it happens."
