How world’s most promising striker Erling Haaland is inspired by Jamie Vardy

Foxes of Leicester detail how the most promising striker in world, Erling Haaland, was inspired by Leicester City forward Jamie Vardy.

I am absolutely positive that many other of the globe’s best centre-forwards have taken note of, watched closely, or even based an entire style on the inimitable Vardy. It is well-known that the former England goalscorer is one of the most underappreciated attackers of the modern era.

Where does the Fox stand in the all-time leading Premier League goalscorers chart – let’s have a look. Vardy is presently joint-14th with natural-born scorer Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink with 127 goals. However, the former only began in the EPL at 27 years old.

While the next legendary footballer on the list from the best division on the planet is Robin Van Persie, with 144 finishes. FoL feel Vardy can catch the ex-Manchester United and Arsenal man, even at age 35.

Borussia Dortmund’s star hitman Erling Haaland is possibly the hottest property in the game at the moment. And the one-time Fleetwood Town athlete’s prowess has not gone unnoticed by the Norwegian. Haaland values the Englishman’s reputation and effectiveness and has used it as an example for his own displays:

"“…I’ve been watching a lot of players. Let’s take an example, the run in behind the centre-back when the number 10 has the ball.“You maybe have the best in the world at that in Jamie Vardy, I’ve been looking a lot at him on exactly this.”Express"

Meanwhile Vardy remains on the sideline as he nurses a hamstring injury. Hopefully he will return soon enough, with an expected date of sometime in February but nothing exact.

Kelechi Iheanacho will make his domestic comeback, though. He and Wilfred Ndidi travel back to the United Kingdom from their appearances at the African Cup of Nations.

Next up for Leicester City following the current winter break

There is a particularly exciting prospect for the east Midlands after the domestic football hiatus. Though the FA Cup clash with Nottingham Forest will be as testing as it is engrossing; the rivals face off on February 6.

Subsequent to that fixture, Leicester are playing away from home once more. This time the Foxes will contest Liverpool on Merseyside; that meeting takes place on the 10th of the same month.
