Vardy has now scored in 7 consecutive games including the winner for his side against Crystal Palace on Saturday. His incredible pace has become a nightmare for the opposition defense and the way he has transformed himself from a winger to a striker is nothing short of impressive.

Liverpool could well make a move for the player in the near future given they have goalscoring problems of their won. Vardy’s skill and work rate would certainly impress manager Jurgen Klopp who favours a high intensity game. The Reds are currently findings goals hard to come by; Danny Ings ruled out with a long term injury and Daniel Sturridge also struggling with match fitness.

We had reported earlier that Liverpool were also interested in Sane in the summer but Schalke had no intentions to sell their prized asset.
