Jamie Vardy is one of the best strikers in the world, claims Brendan Rodgers

While Leicester City and Jamie Vardy have struggled to hit the same levels they were performing at before the lockdown, the Foxes are still on the precipice of Champions League football. The permutations and combinations for them to finish in the top four on the final day makes for an interesting watch but none of this would be possible without Vardy’s goals. While the 33-year-old has only managed four since the restart, he still leads the race for the Golden Boot with 23 goals.

"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. We all want him to finish as the highest scorer, which would be a remarkable achievement considering his age and everything. For me, the age doesn't really come into it. He's absolutely fit as anything,” he added.
