I am happy at Leicester, says Vardy

Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has given the Premier League champions further encouragement that he will stay with them next season by saying he is happy at the club.

Vardy, who has scored 24 Premier League goals this season and was named player of the year by the Football Writers' Association, has played a pivotal role in taking his team from 5,000-1 outsiders at the start of the campaign to champions of England.

"We've just won the league and will be playing in the Champions League next year. I am happy here," the prolific striker told British media.

Vardy, along with his teammates Riyad Mahrez and N'Golo Kante, have all been linked to make big-money moves following their feat. But the forward said that he would remain in the club until at least the next year.

"Nothing's really been spoken about between the lads (regarding close-season moves). We've just been concentrating on each and every game, as they come," he added.

Despite the title triumph, Vardy called on his side to keep their winning mentality intact and focus on ending their season with a victory.

England international Vardy, 29, signed a contract with Leicester in February running through to June 2019.

Leicester visit their manager Claudio Ranieri's former club Chelsea in their final game of the season on Sunday.
