What Jamie Vardy's transfer intentions are as West Ham United make enquiry
Jamie Vardy has plenty of interest, with West Ham United keen on signing the striker.
The Hammers have been credited with interest in the veteran striker, who is a free agent after leaving Cremonese.
The 39-year-old had one season with the Italian side in the Serie A after he ended his legendary stay with Leicester City last year.
The Irons would have to spend over £15million to land Parrott, while Vardy's recent performances may prove he could still score regularly in the Championship.
Now, West Ham look to have made their first move to sign the former England international.
Jamie Vardy's personal transfer plans amid West Ham interest
Nuno Espirito Santo may be sweating over the future of Taty Castellanos, after previous reports suggested the former Lazio man has no interest in staying in the Championship.
The Argentine bagged a brace in the Hammers' return to competitive action when they beat Portsmouth 3-1 in the Carabao Cup on Saturday, and would clearly be hard to replace.
According to an update from talkSPORT transfer correspondent Ben Jacobs, West Ham have now made an enquiry over the availability of Vardy.
The Leicester City legend is said to have lots of interest, and the player intends to take his time before deciding on his next move.
With Vardy not set to retire for at least another season, it may suggest that he has confidence in his own abilities still.
There's a reason for that, as his stats show West Ham would still be getting a lethal finisher for free.
How Vardy's recent form would break West Ham narrative
Vardy is no spring chicken, that's true, but the suggestion that he would be a bad signing at this level has no evidence to back it up.
Vardy overachieved in Italy last season, scoring seven goals in 24 starts, netting 2.10 times more than he was expected to statistically.
He also grabbed 10 goals for Leicester the season before, the same campaign which saw the Foxes get relegated from the Premier League due to a lack of chance creation among other issues.
Vardy would get a bucket load of chances under Nuno at West Ham, and his finishing abilities clearly haven't faded as much as his pace might have in recent years.
