Filmmakers are planning a movie about Jamie Vardy and his meteoric rise, which may yet include World Cup glory.

Jamie Vardy insists talk of a possible move to Arsenal in 2016 “wasn’t an irritation”, with there no regrets on his part at having snubbed a switch.

The 31-year-old, who is heading to World Cup 2018 this summer , was away with England at Euro 2016 when talk of a transfer to Emirates Stadium surfaced.

The Gunners were prepared to make a move after seeing Vardy inspire Leicester to an unlikely Premier League title triumph, but he ultimately opted against entering into talks following lengthy deliberations.
