LONDON (Reuters) - Jamie Vardy is "something exceptional" who can play at any level and Leicester City have yet to see the best of the prolific striker who will have an "amazing career", according to former Foxes captain Matt Elliott.

Vardy, playing minor league football three years ago, has taken the Premier League by storm with his goals turning Leicester, in their second season back in the top-flight after a 10-year absence, into unlikely title contenders.
