Fans convinced Jamie Vardy's next club was revealed by Wag Rebekah after major hint on Premier League icon's future
JAMIE VARDY'S wife Rebekah may have just dropped a huge hint about the free agent's future. Vardy, 38, is still looking for a new club after calling time on his 13-year spell at Leicester City this summer. 4 The former England striker and Foxes legend has been linked with a host of different sides during the transfer window, including Manchester United. But if Rebekah's social media hints are anything to go by, it looks like Vardy could be heading to the US. Rebekah, 43, posted an image of their three kids wearing Inter Miami shirts. Fans are convinced that the upload means Vardy will be joining the star-studded MLS side this summer. Inter Miami, who are part-owned by David Beckham, already have the likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets in their ranks. While they also signed Argentina international Rodrigo De Paul from Atletico Madrid last month. However, the Mail Online have claimed that a Stateside switch to Miami is extremely unlikely for Vardy. A source close to the club told the outlet that there is "absolutely no way" Vardy is joining Inter Miami and that "no one will have heard of him". 4 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Vardy had been linked with a move to Hollywood-owned Wrexham in the Championship. But the Welsh side appear to be well stocked up front now after the arrivals of Josh Windass and Kieffer Moore. Rebekah Vardy throws husband Jamie a surprise party as he leaves Leicester City Scottish giants Rangers have also been touted as a potential new home for Vardy following the appointment of boss Russell Martin. Vardy scored nine goals and registered four assists in 35 Premier League appearances last season. He left Leicester with the satisfying record of 500 appearances and 200 goals, having won the Premier League, FA Cup and two Championship titles with the Midlands outfit.

Meet post-grad medic who stunned Muir at UK Champs
Up until last weekend, there's a fair chance you may not have heard the name Sarah Calvert. Yet, there's not much chance of the 24-year-old post-grad medicine student going under the radar now. Her spectacular arrival on the British middle-distance scene has changed everything. That also applies to the Livingston native herself thanks to her becoming Scotland's new UK 1500m champion after pipping Olympic silver medalist Laura Muir to the title in Birmingham."It feels incredible," said Calvert. "I did not expect this ever to happen, but especially not with being busy in May studying for exams, that was pretty stressful for me."As soon as I crossed the line I knew it was crazy. I knew this was the biggest moment of my life. Afterwards I had my first anti-doping test, so that was another good experience. "Since then I've had so many messages from people from school, from all my friends, from my parents' friends. It makes it all seem very special."Calvert's sporting status is such that she's now chasing fast races in Europe to try to make the British team for next month's World Championships. It's her social status that has taken her, and her family, by surprise due to her newly found fame."My dad sent me a text yesterday to tell me I've got a Wikipedia page now, " she told BBC Scotland at Edinburgh's Meadowbank stadium, one of her regular training venues when she gives herself a break from her studies at Edinburgh University."It's just kind of insane. I didn't really expect it to blow up like this."Winning one of the top events in the UK calendar will do that kind of thing for your profile. She now has an agent who is hunting down races to see if she can take six seconds off her personal best and run herself into the GB team for Tokyo at the World while Calvert is ready to give it her best shot, her life amid the chaos at the moment is still grounded in reality. She wants to be a doctor, as well as an athlete, and has tried to walk the fine line between excelling at both."Before last weekend I would have said absolutely no chance," she conceded of making the World Championships. "It still seems pretty far off because I need to run a big personal best. I think I just have to go for it. "I definitely feel busy, day to day, when I'm at uni. Training in the morning, cycling to hospital for my placement and then training in the evening again. But I enjoy both."I often worry that I'm compromising running for medicine and then the other way around, but I think I just have to accept that I want to be a runner and I want to be a doctor at some point in my life."So for now the best way for me to do it is to combine the two. I rarely have to miss training for medicine so I think I make it work pretty well." Dreams of Glasgow Quite the understatement, given the cream of British 1500m running couldn't contain her late surge down the final straight in Birmingham. Including her idol Muir, who also managed to balance her vet studies with a hugely successful athletics career. Being British champion – having already taken a silver medal at the recent World University Games - is already opening new doors for Calvert. Sponsors are getting in touch about endorsements, and if she does qualify for the World Championships, the global stage will lift her profile and marketability even further. And if Tokyo is a step too far, there's a big event on home soil next summer which she's already circling on the 2026 already has the 800m qualifying time for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. She's now targeting the 1500m time to maximise her chances."I've always had big dreams of going to major championships but I'm unsure if I ever really believed they were possible," said the 24-year-old. "Now I have the belief that if I do keep training consistently then this could be possible. I feel like I could write these goals down and try to achieve them next year. "The Commonwealth Games in Glasgow would be great because all my family and friends could come and watch me. It seems like something I don't want to miss out on."It would mean so much to me. I remember going to watch Lynsey Sharp in the 800m when she won her silver medal [at Glasgow 2014] and I was so excited. I was just a young girl at Livingston Athletics Club and this was my first taste of what it could be like and what I could achieve when I was older. "I didn't ever think I'd be the one on the track there, but I won't turn down the opportunity and I'll make the most of it."

Fans in disbelief after finally realising who Ipswich's No17 is as club release their squad numbers
FANS have been left in shock after discovering who wears the No17 shirt for Ipswich. The Tractor Boys begin their Championship campaign on Friday with a trip to Birmingham City. 2 2 But supporters will not see their No17 in action at St Andrew's because he is not a registered player. It is instead the number surprisingly given to pop star and minority shareholder Ed Sheeran. The singer is an Ipswich superfan and he owns 1.4 per cent of the club. Sheeran, 34, has been given a kit number as part of a publicity stunt and he has had the shirt since the 2021/22 season. But fans were still in disbelief to see his name on the squad list. One said: "Ed Sheeran No17. Game has gone." A second joked: "Should be letting No17 go when your legs don't work like they used to before." More laughed: "About time you gave that Sheeran a game." Ipswich's jerseys last season were sponsored by "+-=÷x Tour" - in reference to the singer's previous albums. Premier League. He caused huge controversy in November after gatecrashing an interview with Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim. Sheeran later admitted the awkward moment came as he "had about ten pints" and "did not realise" the boss was speaking live on TV.
