Ex-Tottenham and West Ham manager Redknapp has told : “Jamie Vardy would be a fantastic signing for Wrexham,” he said. “He could get any team promoted next season from the Championship, I still think he has a lot to offer in a team that can make chances for him. It would be a great move for Wrexham.
“I don’t think he will be on the radar of Premier League clubs, but that said, I think he’s fantastic. His work rate and everything about him is brilliant, if I was in the Championship I’d be moving heaven and earth to sign him.
“He would be a great value signing for any club, it’s a no brainer in my eyes – he gives everything and works so hard. I’d have him any day if I was managing a club who were trying to get promoted from the Championship, even a team like Burnley who have been promoted, his goals could help them stay up.”
