Sheffield Wednesday odds-on to sign Jamie Vardy this summer
After 13 unforgettable years at Leicester City, Jamie Vardy has confirmed he will leave the club this summer.
The 37-year-old striker departs with a Premier League title, 100+ goals and a legacy few could have predicted when he joined from Fleetwood Town in 2012.
Now betting odds are given on his next move with Sheffield Wednesday installed as the 1/2 favourites to sign him this summer in what would be an emotional move.
Vardy supported the Owls as a young boy and a return to his hometown of Sheffield could well be on the cards for the striker.
| Jamie Vardy Next Club | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Sheffield Wednesday | 1/2 | 66.7% |
| Birmingham City | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Any MLS Side | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Trabzonspor | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| West Ham | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Everton | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Manchester United | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Arsenal | 12/1 | 7.7% |

Vardy’s Options: Sentiment vs Sensibility
Sheffield Wednesday’s odds reflect both proximity and potential sentiment and at 1/2, the market clearly expects an emotional homecoming.
Birmingham City (2/1) are next in line and may be willing to offer regular minutes in a campaign that could suit Vardy’s desire to bow out while still contributing.
However a move to MLS (3/1) also looms, with several American franchises said to be monitoring the situation closely.
The chance to join a growing league and enjoy a less demanding schedule could appeal at this stage of his career.
For more speculative punts, Trabzonspor (5/1) and Everton (6/1) offer outsider options, while Manchester United (10/1) and Arsenal (12/1) would represent truly shocking swan songs.
