Leicester City FC news: Claude Puel tips Jamie Vardy for Foxes captaincy

Claude Puel thinks Jamie Vardy is a Leicester captain in the making and could hand the striker the armband again at Crystal Palace.

The Leicester boss picked the 31-year-old to lead the team for the first time against Southampton last week in the absence of Wes Morgan and Kasper Schmeichel.

With Schmeichel still out injured and Morgan possibly set to remain on the bench on Saturday as Puel continues to experiment and assess his options ahead of next season, Vardy may remain in the role.

Puel believes he has all the attributes to be a strong captain.
