WOLVES are front-runners to land Jamie Vardy — with the veteran striker determined to keep playing in the Prem.
The 38-year-old star’s announcement that he will leave relegated Leicester this summer has sparked a flurry of interest.

Wrexham’s Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney could offer him at least £50,000 a week in the Championship.
And Vardy’s boyhood club Sheffield Wednesday would love to welcome him back after releasing him at the age of 16.
But he is adamant he can still cut it in the top flight.
West Ham and newly-promoted Leeds are also keen.
Wolves boss Vitor Pereira is favourite to land him as he prepares for the exit of £62.5million star Matheus Cunha, most likely to Manchester United.
Vardy has 143 Prem goals for the Foxes and rattled in 24 during their sensational title-winning triumph of 2015-16.
SunSport columnist Harry Redknapp believes Vardy should make the “no-brainer” switch to Wrexham.
Ex-England star Vardy announced his decision to leave Leicester following the club’s relegation to the Championship in a season he called a “s***show”.

In a heartfelt statement, he said: “It’s something that I’ve thought about and spoken about with my family. I think it’s time.
“I’ll be devastated on the day when it is the last [game], but good things, they come to an end.
“It’s going to be one of those emotional days. Who knows which way that can go. If you ask anyone, I’m not really an emotional guy.
“Nothing like that ever comes across with me, but when you’ve been somewhere for so long, and it is time to say goodbye, you just never know what your personal reaction is going to be.
“I’ve spent 13 unbelievable years at this club, with lots of success, and some downs, but the majority have all been highs.
“It’s finally time to call it a day, which I’m devastated about it, but I think the timing it right.”
