Richard Keys has dropped a bombshell regarding Jamie Vardy's future, claiming his next move will 'cause a real storm'.

Vardy's legendary 13-year association with Leicester City will come to an end at the conclusion of the 2024/25 season.

He scored his 200th goal for Leicester in his side's win over Ipswich Town last weekend as he was given an emotional farewell.

Vardy walks away from the King Power Stadium, having famously won the Premier League and the FA Cup during his iconic spell.

Several clubs have been linked with a move for the 38-year-old, who will join his next club on a free transfer.

Two Premier League teams hope to keep the veteran forward in England's top flight.

And a European giant have been tipped to snap up the ex-England international.

However, Vardy has been backed to complete a 'cross town transfer that would cause a real storm'.

That's according to Keys, who claims 'this week' will determine whether the transfer happens.

"It was nice to see Jamie Vardy bow out in style. He’s been a big presence at a Leicester - sometimes too big behind the scenes, but there’s no doubt about what he contributed on the pitch. He deserved his goal and the send off. By the way - what a run by Justin and a lovely ball to make the chance," he wrote in his blog.

"I’ll leave you with a little teaser," he added. "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."

Now, Keys hasn't named a club but his cryptic comment would suggest a transfer to Sheffield United, who face Sunderland in Saturday's Championship play-off final.

Vardy's boyhood club is Sheffield Wednesday, having played for them at youth level.

A move to Sheff United would cause a 'real storm' considering his ties with Sheff Wednesday and fits under a 'cross town transfer' that Keys has teased.

But a move could depend on whether Chris Wilder's team earn promotion to the Premier League.
