Danny Simpson hopes to persuade Leicester City team-mate Jamie Vardy to stay at the club, even if it is just for one more season.
England international Vardy scored 24 Premier League goals as Leicester won the 2015-16 title under manager Claudio Ranieri.
The forward has since been linked with a move to top-flight rivals Arsenal, with Arsene Wenger apparently ready to trigger a £20 million release clause in the player s contract.
Full-back Simpson revealed he s spoken to his club colleague with regards his future, although Vardy is not expected to make any announcement while away with the national team at Euro 2016.
I have spoken to Jamie. Everyone wants him to stay. We would like everyone to stay, even if it s just for one more year, Simpson told BBC s Sportsweek.
It s his decision, and he says he wants to concentrate on the European Championships. Jamie knows what I think of him as a lad and a player.
No money can buy the bond that we have got at the club. It s a special group. Why not carry on and kick on as a group and squad?
