Everton fans react on Twitter to reported interest in PL forward
By Derek Smithson
Everton are reportedly lining up a move for Leicester forward Jamie Vardy – and the club’s supporters are divided on Twitter about a potential move.
The Daily Express claim that the Toffees are eyeing the 30-year-old, despite the England International only signing a new £100,000-a-week deal last summer with the Foxes.
The report details that Ronald Koeman’s side are eyeing Vardy as a potential replacement for their star striker Romelu Lukaku, who is subject to a £100million tug of war between Manchester United and Chelsea.
Vardy is renowned for his tireless work-rate and blistering pace in attack, making him a different player to Lukaku.
He helped Leicester remarkably win the Premier League in the 2015/16 campaign and followed that up wth 16 goals across all competitions last season.

Wouldn't want Vardy in an Everton shirt ever. Not good enough. If true we need to aim a lot higher! #EFC

Vardy has enjoyed the fairytale rise of non-league to Premier League football during his career and is now considered one of England’s most senior forward.
He has scored 66 goals in 192 appearances and has become a crucial player during their top flight stay.
Everton may be forced to find a new talisman in attack if Lukaku leaves and he will leave a huge void behind after scoring 26 goals last season.
The Toffees finished seventh-placed in the league table last year and are keen to break into the Champions Leauge spots under Koeman, but will need a prolifc goalscorer if they are to do so.
