Death threats force Leicester City to offer star man and family extra security

Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy and his family have reportedly been given additional security by the club after he received death threats.

The England international has already spoken out about his wife Rebekah being targeted by ‘fans’ after the sacking of Claudio Ranieri led to the players receiving a fierce backlash from all quarters.


Reports that the players had a big role in the decision to get rid of the Italian tactician would clearly have enraged many, and now according to Sky Sports, the matter has gone so far that it has led Leicester to provide extra security for Vardy.

While the Premier League champions have full-time security staff at club premises, this goes beyond that in the sense that the threats have been made on social media and will have undoubtedly caused his family distress.
