Leicester City boss Claude Puel: 'Jamie Vardy is the complete player'

Leicester City boss Claude Puel describes Jamie Vardy as "the complete player" after his impressive form for the Foxes in recent weeks.

Leicester City boss Claude Puel has heaped praise on Jamie Vardy, with the striker playing a leading role in the club's recent improvement in the Premier League.

Earlier this season, Puel was named as the replacement for Craig Shakespeare and since arriving at the King Power Stadium, the Foxes have recorded 10 points from six matches in the top flight.

Vardy has only scored two goals during that period, but Puel has described the England international as "the complete player" ahead of the club's meeting with Newcastle United on Saturday evening.

The 56-year-old told reporters: "I think Jamie Vardy is the complete player. I would always prefer to have him in my team.

"He's enjoying his football, it's amazing to see. He works hard for the team and always has a positive attitude."

Leicester currently sit in ninth place in the league table, just five points adrift of Tottenham Hotspur who are in sixth spot.
