LEICESTER star Jamie Vardy still doesn't know whether he will join Arsenal.
STAR: Jamie Vardy alongside Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster
The flight will take roughly 60 minutes - but how long will his future remain in the air?
Arsenal have triggered a buy-out clause in Vardy's contract with a bid in the region of £20m and a lucrative, long-term deal is on the table.
Meanwhile Leicester have pushed themselves to their financial limit with a counter offer to keep Vardy at the King Power Stadium.
Starsport understand the 29-year-old hasn't undergone any medical with the north London outfit and is still weighing up his options.
Vardy is torn between showing loyalty to the fairytale Foxes or grasping what could be his final opportunity to join an established Champions League club with extraordinary wages.
Of course, there is a possibility that another club will attempt to gatecrash the move with a deal of their own.
Only a month ago Vardy indicated that he had no desire to leave Leicester, saying at the time: "We've just won the league and will be playing in the Champions League next year. I am happy here."
However, Olivier Giroud has heard different and believes the former Fleetwood Town talisman is eager to join him at Arsenal.
He told Sky Sports: "I have been told that Jamie wants to join us and it's very good news for us. I think we can be complimentary.
"I am happy with competition. We have always had fantastic strikers at Arsenal and I want the best for this club. Hopefully he is going to help us win this title."
