Everton are second favourites to sign Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, according to the latest bookmakers’ odds.

Sky Bet have placed the Toffees at 6/1 to secure the signature of the 30-year-old in the summer transfer window.

Ronald Koeman appears determined to recruit a new striker to Goodison Park next season as Sky Bet also make them second favourites to sign Arsenal forward Lucas Perez.

The Merseyside club are currently ahead of a host of Premier League clubs who are also keen to sign Vardy this summer, with local rivals Liverpool placed at 14/1, Arsenal at 20/1 and Manchester United at 33/1.

Manchester City lead the way at 7/2 to sign the England international this summer.

Vardy has only played in the Premier League for three seasons but he has certainly made an impact during this period.

The striker played an essential role in helping Leicester secure the first top-flight league title of their history during in the 2015-16 season as Vardy contributed with 24 league goals and six assists.

The Englishman also broke a record set by former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy as he became the first player to score in 11 consecutive Premier League matches.

Although Vardy was unable to reach the heights of the title-winning campaign, he was still one of the best players for the Foxes last season, scoring 16 goals in all competitions.
