Leicester City's forward Jamie Vardy has disclosed that he holds no regrets over turning down a move to Arsenal FC and that he believes he has been vindicated with Arsenal's recent decline in the league.

The 2015/2016 Premier League Winner was the target of Chelsea and Arsenal in last season but decided to remain with Leicester City.

"I want to win as much as possible, I don't want to only have one Premier League medal in my drawer at home -- it would be an empty glass cabinet,'' Vardy said.

"I'm contracted to Leicester and we will see how high we can go. In the future, who knows?"

Vardy added: "Just because I turned down Arsenal, that was my choice, but if another offer came in it would be the same in that I would look at it and work out the pros and cons.

"But no, turning down Arsenal doesn't mean I wouldn't look at another offer.''

Vardy said he was also eager to play in China or America "at some point down the road'' but has no regrets about snubbing Arsenal, even if he missed out on an FA Cup winners' medal as a result.

"It wasn't the Premier League was it? So we're all right with that I think," Vardy said. "I'll never regret anything I've chosen to do."

He added with a smile: "I'm a bit of a psychic, I could see the little downfall they are on now.

"They had qualified for the Champions League for the last 20 years until last year. That was something to think about.

"Leicester were also in the Champions League and on a different night at home against Atletico [Madrid] we could have gone even further.

"But there were all sorts [of reasons]. Football was the main thing but moving the family when I'd just bought a house would have been a laugh -- not.''
