Daniel Sturridge is sure Jamie Vardy is fully focused on England's Euro 2016 campaign despite continuing links with a move to Arsenal.

Sky sources understand no decision will be made on Tuesday over the 29-year-old's potential departure from Leicester City.

The Gunners are reportedly willing to meet the buyout clause in Vardy's contract with Leicester after a season in which he scored 24 goals and was a big part in their shock title success.

England and Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge says there is no pressure on the team and that the players should enjoy Euro 2016.

But Vardy is keen to downplay the possibility of a move to the Emirates Stadium as he continues his preparations for England's opening game in France, which comes on Saturday against Russia.

And Sturridge does not feel the lingering question mark over Vardy's club future will affect him at all this summer.
