Jamie Vardy has been spotted out in Italy as he witnessed Como secure their promotion to Serie A.
Vardy netted twenty goals for Leicester City this season as the Foxes returned to the Premier League as Championship title winners.
Out of contract at the King Power Stadium this summer speculation has, however, begun to gather over whether Vardy could now seek a move away from England.
Como are currently employing former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas as their assistant manager and finished second in Serie B this season.
Thierry Henry is also involved as a stakeholder at the club and Vardy’s presence is bound to increase speculation over his next move.
The former Fleetwood man has enjoyed plenty of ups and downs during his time with City but admits he has no intentions of hanging up his boots just yet.
“I’m not ready to hang the boots up yet, the legs feel fine,” he said earlier this year.
“I feel as fit as I ever have, so we’ll just see what happens.”

Leicester boss Enzo Maresca has also shared the same sentiment and hinted that a new contract could soon be on it’s way for the experienced forward, despite rumoured interest from League 1 side Wrexham.
“It’s all season that you ask about Jamie! Jamie Vardy is Leicester. Jamie Vardy, I didn’t discover him. Jamie Vardy will always score goals in his life,” said Maresca.
“He’s going to score goals until he’s 45 because it’s in his blood to score goals. We are very lucky that he’s our player. He’s scored many goals.
“Not yet (we didn’t discuss the contract) because the target was to finish in the right way.
“We have a game on Saturday and then we’ll sit, but my feeling is that he’s going to stay.
“This is just my feeling, but if I were to decide…”
