Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri has claimed that Jamie Vardy's form is oozing confidence throughout the team.

The 28-year-old is the Premier League's leading scorer with six goals, two of which came in Saturday's 5-2 defeat to Arsenal at the King Power Stadium.

"Jamie is playing with a lot of confidence," Ranieri told the club's official website. "He charges all of his teammates because, when you see your striker go to press, everyone feels good.

"He scored twice [against Arsenal] and, in this moment, he's in very good condition. I try to give him confidence because I love a striker that works so hard and has a lot of chances to score a goal."

Leicester are currently seventh in the league table following three victories, three draws and a defeat.
