Leicester City fans only have one man on their wishlist to replace Jamie Vardy

It makes perfect sense.

Leicester City could be about to lose their main threat. The man they play through. The man that sets the tone, makes them a threat with and without possession. Claudio Ranieri could be about to lose the same guy whose three-game suspension caused a complete change in line-up at the end of last season. Jamie Vardy is on his way to Arsenal and, although the Foxes are looking to put up a fight to keep their star striker, it is likely that the English man will end up in London. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/739763988544770048 Reports on Monday suggested that Leicester were going down an entirely different route with their replacement for Vardy. But The Guardian were still suggesting that Tipperary's finest, Shane Long, is high up the priority list at the King Power Stadium. So he should be.

• They're the same age - Vardy is only 11 days older than Long.
• They're both relentlessly energetic, terrifying nervous defenders.
• They're both obviously lightning quick.
• They're both late developers whose careers are on a steep, steep upward curve.
• They both thrive when the team is built up to play around them with them at the tip.

And it's certainly an avenue that the fans want to explore. It's a must. https://twitter.com/V115H4L/status/739113280137003008 And it's simple. https://twitter.com/tongie6/status/739097551316627456 Every day of the bloody week. https://twitter.com/ConnorOfTheNeal/status/734804918213726212 Even United fans agree. https://twitter.com/mufc_anna/status/739750857101692928 Everyone agrees that they're similar. https://twitter.com/ShamelessMcFly/status/739749910262775808 https://twitter.com/Mason7WBA/status/739123057474842624 https://twitter.com/Jonnyaston/status/739117320417751040 Liverpool fans are giving up the chase too. https://twitter.com/realrichkelly/status/739625166355857408 But Leicester supporters are getting impatient. https://twitter.com/lcfc_ben/status/739493201342550016
