Jamie Vardy, 39, Could Make Shock Premier League Return After Everton Striker Crisis
Everton are short of senior strikers after failed bids for Folarin Balogun, Joshua Zirkzee and Tammy Abraham, leaving Jamie Vardy as a free-agent option.
- Everton is considering a move for free-agent Jamie Vardy after being left with only one recognised senior striker, Thierno Barry, following the Premier League transfer window's closure on September 1.
- Manager David Moyes sought forward reinforcements after selling Beto to Fiorentina and Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City, but failed attempts to sign Folarin Balogun, Joshua Zirkzee, and Tammy Abraham left Goodison Park short-handed.
- Vardy scored 145 Premier League goals in 342 appearances, ranking 14th on the all-time list, during his 13 years at Leicester City, where he won the league title in 2015-16 and the FA Cup in 2020-21.
- As a free agent, Vardy remains eligible to sign despite the September 1 deadline, though the veteran faces competition from West Ham, Sheffield Wednesday, and Brazilian side São Paulo for his signature.
- Everton continues to explore possibilities to address their attacking shortage, and reports indicate former Manchester United striker Anthony Martial has also emerged as a potential free-agent option for the club.
