Brendan Rodgers said “At present, you have to see Jamie Vardy as one of the leading strikers in world football. When we g26o into Europe next season, at whatever level that he is, again he will be able to demonstrate that. I said when I came in he’s a world-class striker and thankfully next year he’ll have the chance to show that on the European stage. He’s a very serious guy. I think everyone thinks of him as this fun guy, dressed up as Spiderman and everything else. But you don’t become a top-level striker by not being super professional. This is a guy who comes in every day and his mentality is to train and to work. There are very few sessions he will ever miss. Behind it all, he has that wonderful personality. He’s very selfless and supports the younger players; he’s good value with the senior players. I love working with him.”
Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has said that Jamie Vardy is one of the world’s best strikers. The Foxes frontman is chasing a Premier League Golden Boot, taking a two-goal lead over Danny Ings into the final game of the season, a crucial top-four clash with Manchester United. Vardy has scored 23 goals so far this season, and even at the age of 33, he is one of the very best in the game.
