Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has enjoyed the success of Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy this season.

Wenger loves what Vardy has achieved, following the same path as Ian Wright, Les Ferdinand and Stuart Pearce, who emerged from non-league football to become international footballers.

He said: “Signing someone like Vardy is a gamble but this one has paid off.

“I think there are more players like him but sadly they don't get noticed. You rely on others to tell you."

Arsenal have not watched non-league but have changed that by bringing in Leicester chief scout Ben Wrigglesworth.

Wenger added: “I have been here for 20 years and Vardy is the first example I have seen go from non-league to the England national team."
