Euro 2016: Jokers photoshop BBC live blog to say ‘Arsenal’s Jamie Vardy’
Beeb's live blog appeared to claim England's equalising hero has already made the switch from Leicester to the Emirates
JAMIE VARDY is officially an Arsenal player it seems — after jokers changed the BBC's live commentary.
During the riveting clash between England and Wales in Lens - won in the dying moments by Roy Hodgson's Three Lions - the Beeb appeared to refer to the Leicester man as 'Arsenal's Jamie Vardy'.
A snapshot of the blog showed the sentence: "Goal! England 1, Wales 1. Arsenal's Jamie Vardy (England) right footed shot from very close range to the top right corner."
The BBC later said to SunSport that the sentence never appeared on their website.
Earlier this off-season, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger matched Vardy's release clause - thought to be around £30million.
However, the former Fleetwood forward, 29 - who netted 24 goals in the Foxes' Premier League-winning season - said he would put off making any decision until after this summer's European Championships in France, in order to focus on his England duties.

It is widely expected Vardy - whose introduction at half time against Wales helped turn the tide, as Hodgson's England attacked with real purpose - will move to the Emirates this summer.
