Leicester City frontman Jamie Vardy insists that he can achieve his ambitions with the club, amid reports linking him with a move away.

Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has insisted that he can fulfill his ambitions with the club, amid reports linking him with a move elsewhere.

The 28-year-old, who set the record for scoring in 11 consecutive Premier League matches at the weekend, has been linked with Real Madrid, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.

Vardy's form has helped Claudio Ranieri's side become joint-leaders in the league table, and the England international has stated that Leicester are looking to challenge at the top on a regular basis.

When asked if the club could match his ambitions, Vardy told the Leicester Mercury: "Yes I do. I think the gaffer has come in and told the owners what he wants to do, and he wants to keep progressing.

"He wants to progress on what we did last year and then, in the years to come, he wants to keep us going up and up and up. It is great for the club and he is a great manager.

"He comes across as quite funny sometimes because he has not got the full English language yet but he is brilliant for the players and the club in general."

Vardy, who is contracted to Leicester until 2018, has netted 14 goals in 14 games this season.
