Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has said that it was an "easy" decision to turn down Arsenal's offer of a contract and believes that he has "unfinished business" with the club.

The 29-year-old turned down the opportunity to join Arsenal this summer after the Gunners met Vardy's release clause, and the striker believes he still has more work to do with the Foxes.

"It's not been put out there that I have always said the boys, the close-knit brotherhood, is unbelievable and for me, there's a lot of unfinished business here," he told 'Sky Sports News HQ'.

"I feel that the club is only going one way and that is forward, that's why I want to be a part of it".

As for being tempted by Arsenal, the England striker has played down the importance of the decision and claims it was not that difficult.

"It wasn't that big [the decision] when I think about it. It was quite easy and this is where I want to be".

Do you think Vardy made the right decision?
