Jamie Vardy lined up for major shock transfer to Champions League team - in what could be a dream move for wife Rebekah

Jamie Vardy has emerged as a surprise target for Napoli.

The free agent former England international has been taking his time considering offers with a number of top clubs showing interest.

Italian champions Napoli have now added the 38-year old to their list of options after Romelu Lukaku was ruled out for three months with injury. Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson is another target but could prove too expensive.

Vardy left Leicester City at the end of the season after a glittering spell that saw him score 200 goals in 500 appearances and win the Premier League and FA Cup.
