David Ornstein, a.k.a. The Ornacle, hath spoken once again and he is standing by the claim that Jamie Vardy will reach a decision on whether he joins Arsenal or not later today (Monday).
The Leicester City striker has had a whirlwind couple of days, starting on Friday when Arsenal triggered his £20m release clause and presented him with an offer of £120,000 a week – double what he was getting with the Foxes. Since then, the 29-year-old has been offered an improved deal by his current club, who only signed him to a new contract in February.
No decision yet from Jamie Vardy on joining Arsenal or accepting Leicetser's counter offer. He is still expected to decide today #AFC #LCFC

On Monday morning, it was reported by a local newspaper that the former Fleetwood Town man had requested more time to make the big decision. According to Ornstein, however, this isn’t the case.
Amid all of this, the news features part of the Arsenal site went down.
The England international was photographed boarding the plane to France with the rest of the national squad, with Jack Wilshere creepily lurking behind him.
