Everton would be wise to snap up Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, if they get Danny Drinkwater to move to Goodison Park.

According to the Daily Mirror, Everton are after Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater, and if they want the midfielder they should look to partner him up with Jamie Vardy again.

Drinkwater and Vardy’s partnership at Leicester City helped the Foxes win the league, with the pair working brilliantly in tandem together.

Drinkwater’s long-range passing often unlocked the door for Vardy during their time together with Leicester, and the potential to see that partnership in action again should excite Everton supporters.

Drinkwater would be the easier of the two to sign, as he has failed to make much of an impression since a £35 million transfer to Chelsea last summer (the Guardian), but that should not put Everton off Vardy.

Vardy has been a long-term target of Everton over recent seasons, as reported by Sky Sports.

And the Toffees should rekindle their interest in the England international again this summer.

Everton have funds to spend, but their striking options could be short this season.

Everton have added to their creative and defensive options this term, but there could be room for a new number nine to challenge Cenk Tosun.

And Vardy would make an excellent buy for Marco Silva’s side, particularly if Drinkwater does arrive at Goodison Park.
