Rumours of Leicester City orchestrating the quintessential sporting resurrection this summer refuse to dissipate into the cynical air of the off-season. No, this does not herald the long-overdue dismissal of Jon Rudkin, the LE2 club's widely detested chief football officer, but rather the tantalising prospect of another perfect scenario.

​This marks neither the first occasion nor the second that the indomitable Jamie Vardy has been intricately linked with a sentimental return to English soil over recent weeks. While these whispers were initially greeted with healthy skepticism, they nonetheless captured the collective imagination of a fiercely loyal Blue Army.

​Subsequent media amplification only served to heighten intrigue, transforming idle gossip into a fever pitch of intense anticipation among the Foxes faithful. Nevertheless, the veteran striker's wife, Rebekah, swiftly intervened to extinguish the growing hysteria by flatly dismissing burgeoning claims via her official Instagram account.

​Consequently, a significant portion of the passionate fan base reluctantly resigned themselves to the probability that a romantic Vardy homecoming remained highly unlikely this summer. Yet, despite the stark reality that the club desperately requires their iconic No.9 to spark a genuine renaissance, desire alone cannot compel his signature.

What's probably next for iconised ex-Leicester City star Jamie Vardy?

​The former England international evidently retains the requisite sharpness to influence matches at almost the pinnacle of the sport; beautifully defying the conventional march of time. This enduring quality underscores the latest speculation from reporter Joe Crann, who originally associated the veteran with his boyhood sanctuary at Sheffield Wednesday.

"According to Wednesday reporter Joe Crann, Owls chiefs have discussed a potential swoop for Vardy.

Crann adds, however, that he reckons a return to Leicester would be more likely, should Vardy decide to drop down to League One."

However, the journalist critically added that a transfer to Leicestershire remains a far more plausible outcome than a romantic journey to Yorkshire. While Rebekah threw cold water upon these fervent whispers, if Jamie ultimately decides on a spectacular Leicester return - that is precisely what he'll do.
