Patson Daka: Zambia striker calls Leicester team-mate Jamie Vardy 'an inspiration'

Leicester City striker Patson Daka says it is a "big privilege" to learn from Jamie Vardy close up since joining the Premier League club.

And the 23-year-old says studying Vardy, who has scored 125 Premier League goals for Leicester, has helped his game.

"Jamie has been one of my inspirations," Daka said after his heroics in Moscow.

"I am sure you can tell with the kind of playing style that I have, which is similar to him. It is a big privilege for me to be working alongside him. He helps me a lot in training.
