During the summer transfer window, Arsenal tried to sign Leicester City hit-man Jamie Vardy but unfortunately for them, he chose to remain with the club where he won the league last season.
Now that transfer activities have come to and end, the 29-year-old has revealed why and how he managed to snub the £20 million move.
Vardy stated: "I was in a hotel room [in Chantilly] for so many hours of every day with nothing to do. You had a lot of time on your hands. “I am not going to beat around the bush – every time I thought about it, and every aspect of it I thought about, both my head and my heart were saying to stay at Leicester, which is why I made my decision to stay.
“There were loads of reasons. You get that much time to think about, every single thing down to the tea lady. You think about what might happen, what might not. Where you could be, where not. Every time I thought about every little thing, though, both head and heart were saying ‘you need to stay’.
"I could see people’s point when they assumed I would go, but, deep down, if you don’t think it’s right for you, you don’t do it. It’s as simple as that.
“In my professional life, it was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make, but I haven’t been a professional for that long. It was hard, but it was actually an easy decision to make.”
