Fenerbahce have been linked with Leicester’s Jamie Vardy but Everton should be looking to capitalise on any potential transfer.

According to the Sun, Turkish side Fenerbahce are plotting a double swoop at Leicester City this summer for Ahmed Musa and Jamie Vardy.
Musa has struggled somewhat during his first season at the King Power Stadium, particularly under current manager Craig Shakespeare, but it would certainly be a surprise if the Foxes allowed Vardy to leave.

However, should the England international consider an exit from Leicester then Everton – who have been linked with the striker in the past – should make sure they are at the front of the queue for his signature.
With Toffees top-scorer Romelu Lukaku admitting he wants to leave, Enner Valencia returning to parent club West Ham United and Arouna Kone departing on a free, a new forward will be a priority for manager Ronald Koeman ahead of 2017/18.
While not getting any younger at 30-years-old, Vardy would offer an interesting dynamic at Goodison Park and has already proven he can compete at the very top.

The Englishman has 42 Premier League goals in 105 matches, as well as six in 16 caps for his country, and despite his age is still among the quickest in the division.
Like Lukaku, Vardy will play on the shoulder of the last defender and look to get in behind and with plenty of creative talent in attacking midfield, could well thrive at Everton.
