Jamie Vardy says he can still play at highest level and has no retirement plans

Jamie Vardy has told Sky Sports that he has no doubt that he can continue to deliver in the Premier League and has no plans to retire.

The 38-year-old leaves Leicester after 13 years at the end of the season after the expiry of his contract.

Vardy has won a Premier League title, two promotions of the championship, a FA Cup and the Community Shield with the club with 144 goals in the top flight.

When asked if he had doubts about his continuous ability to deliver at the highest level, Vardy, who scored eight goals and produced four assists in the competition this season, to Sky Sports: “No, but that's me alone.

'Football is a crazy world. You never know what will happen.

“I will continue until my legs tell me that I have to stop. My legs are fine.

“I do a sport that I love, it's what I have done since I was a small child that can continue for so long.”

Vardy will make his last home performance for Leicester on Sunday when they take on Ipswich in the King Power Stadium, with the aim of scoring his 200th goal for the club at his 500th performance.

“I would like it [do it]. I would like it. But if it doesn't happen, not. “

Leicester is ready to give their captain a huge broadcast, but Vardy is not dragged along.

“You can talk to my family and they will all say that I am emotionless,” he said. “It might be at the end of the game or whatever, but until that happens, I am literally only focused on the game.

“You don't get a chance to look back on it. It's about seeing the season with Momentum to start next season.”

Vardy is generally regarded as Leicester's largest player ever who has joined the club for a transfer costs of £ 1 million of the then non-league-zffleetwood city.

“Set up a bit of it, right?” he said. “Was the jump too big? I always believed in myself for scoring goals and so on, but it doesn't matter who you are, you come to a certain point and that is probably your limit, the top of where you can get.

“So there were doubts, thinking that I might have jumped too far.”

Among the trophies was one of the personal highlights of Vardy's 11-game scoring streak, which set a new record in the Premier League.

“It was big, right?” he said. “The club had received [my family] To make a mini-video assembly. I wish happiness and things like that. How they believed in me for the 11th game. And I actually watched it that morning [of the game].

“It was then that I told my family to my wife that I score tonight. It's so simple. See, the first shot, it is.”

However, Vardy admits that he has not yet thought about his other performance in the club.

“I keep saying and it's strange, but you don't get a chance to look back on it,” he added. “Because you are in it, the season ends, you close completely. Mentally and physically it is a murderer. It puts in you.

“So by the time you have had a few weeks to switch off, you will be back in, prepare for the new season. So it just keeps rolling.”

And Vardy is ready to roll in a new season and a new chapter.
