Steve Walsh will urge Everton to make a move for Jamie Vardy this summer - if he stays on as Director of Football.

Walsh’s role is believed to be under threat with exploratory talks having taken place between the Blues and PSV Eindhoven’s Sporting Director Marcel Brands.

But Walsh is still making plans for the post-season and continues to put Vardy at the top of his transfer wishlist.

Walsh was head of recruitment at Leicester City when Vardy joined from non-league Fleetwood Town in a deal worth in excess of £1m.

Vardy, 31, scored in 11 consecutive Premier League games as Leicester won the 2015-16 title and has 19 England caps to his name.

The Leicester striker has bagged 56 goals in 134 Premier League appearances.

Walsh is keen to be reunited with Vardy but finds himself under mounting pressure after a wretched season in which Everton have spent around £200m on transfers.
