Although Wenger's interest in Vardy surprises me, I can imagine him looking at the situation and feeling that he simply cannot afford a World Class striker made in the mold that Arsenal require. The next tier of these strikers are also rather pricey and this price may not be worth the risk in their uncertainties/limitations. As such, Wenger may feel that a combination purchase of an older but somewhat proven striker and a young prospect would be slightly more expensive than a Benzema/Morata/Higuain but less risky.
