English club West Ham United has initiated efforts to bolster its attacking lineup. Among the primary targets on the transfer list of head coach Nuno Espirito Santo is 39-year-old star striker Jamie Vardy.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, citing the Goal portal, the London-based club is actively interested in securing the services of the experienced forward.
Jamie Vardy is currently a free agent. He spent the previous season with the Italian club Cremonese. During his time in the Italian league, the striker made 29 appearances and scored 7 goals; however, he parted ways with the club following its relegation from Serie A.
While Vardy's name was previously linked to Sheffield Wednesday, the player has refuted those rumors. Additionally, although his recent medical examination at the facilities of Leicester City—the club where he played for many years, scoring 200 goals in 500 matches—sparked hope among fans for a reunion, reports indicate that the parties will not be renewing their collaboration.
Vardy is widely recognized for his tenure at Leicester City between 2012 and 2025, where he served as one of the key architects of the team's historic Premier League title victory during the 2015-16 season. His potential return to English football marks a significant development in the current transfer window.
