We’ve heard nothing from Jamie Vardy yet regarding his proposed £20m (€25m) move to Arsenal, but judging by a recent tweet from his wife it certainly looks like more than just a rumour.
Arsenal reportedly activated the release cause in the Leicester striker’s contract on Friday night, and they want to complete a deal before he heads off to France for Euro 2016 on Monday.
While it will certainly be seen as a huge move for the 29-year-old, whose incredible and indeed Hollywood-worthy rise from non-league football to Premier League winner has been well documented, the Leicester fans he would leave behind are unsurprisingly not too thrilled about the prospect of losing the man that registered 24 league goals for them in their giant-killing season.
Unfortunately for Vardy’s new wife Rebekah, much of that hostility seems to have been directed at her.
The pair married just a few weeks after Leicester’s historic title-winning campaign came to a close, and Mrs Vardy’s response to the angry Foxes fans has only intensified the rumours that he might be on his way out of the club.

As for the Arsenal fans, who watched Leicester ruin their best title chance in a number of years, well it looks like they’re already welcoming the couple to North London.
@ArsenalRK Arsenal fans will treat you well. We still consider @ludivinesagna as one of our own even if Bacary moved to City.
