Jamie Vardy signs with Cremonese in Italy after 13 seasons at Leicester

ROME (AP) — Jamie Vardy is moving to Italy after 13 seasons with Leicester that included an improbable Premier League title in 2016.

The 38-year-old English striker signed with promoted Serie A club Cremonese on Tuesday.

The club said Vardy had signed until the end of next June with a renewal option.

It was announced in April that Vardy would leave Leicester at the end of last season — and he marked his 500th and final match for the club a month later with a farewell goal that was his 200th for the team.

Vardy scored in a record 11 straight games in Leicester’s title-winning campaign that will be remembered as one of the great underdog stories in soccer history. The title defied preseason odds of 5,000-1.

After winning the Serie B playoffs to return to the top flight after two years, Cremonese stunned AC Milan in its Serie A opener. It remains perfect after a dramatic late win over Sassuolo on Friday.

MADRID (AP) — A bus carrying tourists in Spain’s Canary Islands fell down a ravine Friday, killing one person and injuring 27 others, local emergency services said.

Most of the passengers were British nationals.

The incident took place in La Gomera, one of the eight islands that make up the Spanish archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean off the western coast of Africa.

The injured were transferred to a local hospital on the island, emergency services said, and were being treated for injuries.

La Gomera is among the smallest of the Canary Islands, with steep terrain marked by volcanic mountains, dense forest and cliffside villages. The islands, known for their year-round warm temperatures, are popular holiday destinations for many Britons and Europeans.
