Liverpool and Everton have overtaken Atletico Madrid as frontrunners in the betting markets for striker Jamie Vardy, should he leave Leicester City.<\/p>\n

The Spanish? giants have had their FIFA-imposed\u00a0transfer ban upheld,\u00a0meaning they cannot be register new players until 2018. The news has put to bed any rumours of a move to the red half of\u00a0Madrid for Vardy.<\/p>\n

Now bookmakers\u00a0Sky Bet (via\u00a0<\/span>HITC)\u00a0have now shortened the odds for Premier League rivals\u00a0Liverpool and Everton to sign the 30-year-old English international<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Reds still have\u00a0relatively long\u00a0odds\u00a0at 6\/1, while the Toffees sit at 8\/1, indicating that neither club are yet to make concrete advances for Vardy. He is currently 1\/6 to stay at the King Power stadium.<\/p>\n

One of the Foxes’ many heroes from their Premier League triumph in 2015\/16, the former Fleetwood Town striker endured a rather mixed season in 2016\/17.<\/p>\n

Aside from a hattrick against Manchester City, the early parts of the campaign were difficult for Vardy. However, the introduction of Craig Shakespeare as manager seemed to restore his previous form.<\/p>\n

\"Leicester<\/div>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

Finishing with 13 Premier League goals, the Leicester forward prove he still has a great eye for goal.<\/p>\n

Whether or not actually\u00a0interested in Vardy,\u00a0Liverpool are likely to attempt to strengthen in attack next, particularly if\u00a0Daniel Sturridge leaves, and are partial to a pacey attacker.<\/p>\n

As for Everton, the Toffees have to face the realistic prospect of replacing current star striker Romelu Lukaku and Ronald Koeman could do far worse than Leicester’s number nine.<\/p>\n

However, with Riyad Mahrez looking set to leave the Foxes after handing in a transfer request, the club will be desperate to not lose another star name in the summer.<\/p>\n
