Jamie Vardy is the Premier League's top scorer with 19 goals.

'I played Call of Duty instead of watching Arsenal and Tottenham'

Leicester ended the weekend five points clear at the top of the table.

LEICESTER CITY STRIKER Jamie Vardy has revealed he plays Call of Duty instead of keeping up with the clubโ€™s Premier League rivals.

Vardy fired up the PlayStation last Wednesday rather than watching title contenders Arsenal and Tottenham in Premier League action in their respective games.

Leicester ended the weekend five points clear at the top of the table after Riyad Mahrezโ€™s 15th Premier League goal of the season sealed a 1-0 win at Watford on Saturday.

I heard a lot of people saying the results on Wednesday night went in our favour, but I was playing Call Of Duty on the PlayStation,โ€ he said.

โ€œNo-one gave us a chance at the start of the season.

โ€œEveryone said we were relegation fodder and the pressure that we had was only until we knew we were safe. Now weโ€™re just enjoying it.โ€

Claudio Ranieri recently told the media he rings an imaginary bell during training if he feels his players have lost concentration, but Vardy said the Italianโ€™s unusual methods do not stop there.

He got us all a little present for Christmas and it was a bell โ€” just a bell in a box,โ€ the Premier Leagueโ€™s leading goalscorer revealed.

โ€œWe all opened it and the next thing we knew everyone was walking around the changing room ringing bells.

โ€œIt must be something for Claudio to have a laugh and joke about but it relaxes all the lads.

โ€œJust like the team, he is enjoying himself.โ€

    Itโ€™s a team sport and Leicester are showing the meaning of team. No expensive signings, everyone pulling in the same direction and no pre-Madonnas. Keep it going fellas and put a big hole in the establishment.

    No Pre-Madonnaโ€™s either. They are all younger than her. Maybe not Ranieri but definitely the rest.

    Doing the maths on it, they should win the league with 4 wins an 3 draws. If they did that then Spurs, Arsenal and City would have to go on brilliant runs to beat them. One game at a time.

    If they win it expect the Leicester City jersey top to be the biggest seller in Irish sports shops next season. Us Irish love a bandwagon to jump on..

    It is great andrew. Jus sayin heโ€™s needs to bang in another 6 to 8 goals to make sure they cross the finish line as champs. And prove that he has what it takes to do it down the stretch every game is a cup final now. Big Pressure games. Then lead the line for England at the euros

    Jamie needs to keep the head down and push on for the title. He needs to prove he is a top centre forward by score ing the goals from here till may not getin enough goals recently.
