Pearson keen to win race for Fleetwood star
Sky Sports understands Leicester City have joined the chase for Fleetwood hot-shot Jamie Vardy.
A host of clubs are chasing Vardy with the striker netting 17 goals in 18 league games for Fleetwood this season.
Fleetwood have already rejected a bid from Blackpool for the player this month, while the likes of Fulham, Wolves, West Ham Reading, Southampton and Rangers have all been credited with an interest in the player.
Conference side Fleetwood are reluctant to sell Vardy with the club striving to win promotion, but they are set to have their resolve tested by Leicester.
Foxes boss Nigel Pearson is looking to bolster his attacking options and it is believed he has put in a firm offer for Vardy as he looks to win the race for the in-demand forward.
