Losing striker Jamie Vardy to
Arsenal could spark an exodus of players from Leicester City, former
defender Gerry Taggart has said, adding that the move could be
catastrophic for the Premier League champions.
The 29-year-old was the joint second-highest scorer in the English
top-flight last season and Arsenal's bid comes at an uncomfortable time
for England, whose manager Roy Hodgson has banned players' agents from
the team hotel in Chantilly to avoid his players being distracted.
"If Vardy goes then one or two others might want to leave as well,"
Taggart, who made over 100 appearances for Leicester, told the BBC. "For the good of the whole team and the club it is important Vardy stays."
Vardy scored 24 league goals last season as Leicester won the
top-flight crown for the first time in their history, and was voted as
the Footballer of the Year by the Football Writers' Association.
