Ranieri's original Jamie Vardy?
Which iconic striker would you compare Leicester striker Jamie Vardy with? Batistuta, Crespo, Totti, Zola have all played under his boss Claudio Ranieri, but the Italian thinks ex-Argentina player Claudio Lopez was his original Jamie Vardy who he shaped the team around at Valencia. So what does Lopez make of the comparison?
Ranieri on Vardy: "He is totally different. I could maybe compare him to Claudio Lopez in Valencia because he was so fast, but the others? No. Jamie is a one-off. He's amazing."
