Arsenal activated Vardy’s £20million release clause in the hope they could complete a deal for the striker before he flew out for the Euros on Monday.

But Arsene Wenger, after talks with Vardy, was left stunned by the striker not immediately jumping at a move.

Arsenal must now decide whether to wait on Vardy, potentially until next month, or go for other strike targets.

Arsenal have offered the 29-year-old a contract worth over £100,000-a-week, but Leicester have made a new bid of their own and have begged Vardy to stay with the champions.

Hodgson had already told the squad that he did not want players becoming involved in transfer sagas over Euro 2016 and is keen for their agents to stay away from the team hotel outside Chantilly.
