We've heard nothing from Jamie Vardy yet regarding his proposed £20m move to Arsenal, but judging by a recent tweet from his wife it certainly looks like more than just a rumour.
Arsenal reportedly activated the release cause in the Leicester City striker's contract on Friday night, and they want to complete a deal before he heads off to France for Euro 2016 on Monday.
While it will certainly be seen as a huge move for the 29-year-old, whose incredible and indeed Hollywood-worthy rise from non-league football to Premier League winner has been well documented, the Leicester fans he would leave behind are unsurprisingly not too thrilled about the prospect of losing the man that registered 24 league goals for them last season.
Unfortunately for Vardy's new wife Rebekah, much of that hostility seems to have been directed at her.
The pair married just a few weeks after Leicester's historic title-winning season came to a close, and Mrs Vardy's response to the angry Foxes fans has only intensified the rumours that he might be on his way out of the club.

As for the Arsenal fans, who watched Leicester ruin their best title chance in a good few years, well it looks like they're already welcoming the couple to North London.
