JAMIE VARDY is a wanted man - but is expected to sign a new contract at Leicester.
Vardy hit his 17th and 18th Premier League goals of the season last night as Leicester dismissed Liverpool 2-0 at the King Power Stadium.
The 29-year-old's first was a stunning volley that will take some beating for goal of the season.
Vardy's hugely impressive season is set to be rewarded by Leicester making him the highest-paid player in the club's history

the Foxes are offering the former non-league man a £70,000-a-week three-and-a-half year contract worth £12million.
Vardy currently earns £40,000 a week but has become one of the most sough-after players in the Premier League.
The Guardian report Chelsea and Liverpool are among a number of clubs to have shown an interest in the ex-Fleetwood Town striker.
But Vardy is thought to be happy at Leicester where he enjoys a good relationship with manager Claudio Ranieri and is ready to sign the new, improved deal
After his stunning strike against Liverpool, Ranieri paid tribute to his frontman.
"It was an unbelievable pass from Mahrez and unbelievable what Vardy did," Ranieri said.
"He watched the ball arriving, watched the opponent and watched the keeper. He looked at the keeper out of the goal and hit it. It was unbelievable, amazing, fantastic. That goal opened the match.
