Vardy is 'one of the best in Europe' says Rodgers, as Leicester star targets goalscoring record

The Foxes' star man is outscoring Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in league action, and his manager has no doubts about his quality

Brendan Rodgers says Jamie Vardy is one of the best strikers in Europe – and there is plenty more to his game than goals.

The Leicester icon is leading the race for the golden boot, and is chasing a record of his own making. His current tally of scoring in seven consecutive Premier League games is nearing on the eleven he managed in 2015-16.

No player has scored more Premier League goals than Vardy since Rodgers took the reins at the King Power Stadium, but his manager feels no need to steal his limelight.
