Conclusion

Looking at what Jamie Vardy can bring to arsenal his stats alone suggest he knows how to score a goal. Something that arsenal strikers have been struggling to do for some time. Some say with out Marhez Vardy will struggle and Wenger must sign both players. But people forget that arsenal have already signed a classy midfielder in Xhaka a midfielder who will provide the long ball for Vardy. I understand the release is £20m this is one gamble that i would be taking. Arsenal are known for their patient, attractive football, whereas Leicester were built around Vardy's strengths, playing on the counter attack and playing long balls over the top and into channels for Vardy to run on to. Wenger would look to change the tactics to accommodate Vardy strengths.

I think its classy business by Wenger a gamble yes, but Vardy stats suggest he is a classy striker and will continue to impress at Arsenal.
