Everton were linked with signing Jamie Vardy earlier this year.

Jamie Vardy of England looks on during the International friendly between England and Italy at Wembley Stadium on March 27, 2018 in London, England.

Jamie Vardy scored an impressive goal for England last night to give the Three Lions the lead over Italy.

It was important for Vardy to re-establish himself on the international stage, with star striker Harry Kane out with an ankle injury.

Vardy’s goal was further evidence of his capability to score goals on the big stage, and could help re-ignite interest in his signature this summer.

Everton were linked with signing Vardy in January by SkySports, with manager Sam Allardyce reported to be a big fan.

Vardy’s strike against Italy was clinical, and a demonstration of what he was capable of.

Everton supporters had high praise for the Leicester forward, discussing his suitability as a summer signing.

Everton’s interest in Vardy this summer will largely depend on Sam Allardyce’s future at the club.

He was only really ever seen as a stop gap at the club, but if Everton do not get close to appointing their top option, then Allardyce could stay, and get to work on his transfer targets.

At the same time as Everton’s interest may rise, Leicester will welcome his goal last night raising his profile, and their asking price.

A few goals at the World Cup will make it even more difficult for interested sides to tempt him away.
