Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri is backing Jamie Vardy for a new England call-up.

Ranieri has tipped "warrior" forward Jamie Vardy to be called up for England's European Championship qualifiers against San Marino and Switzerland next month.

"Jamie is positive, he is a warrior, every ball could be the best ball. He never gives up and I love this kind of player," the 63-year-old Italian told Sky Sports.

"Anything can happen, Jamie attacks and breaks the line all the time and it's very good for us.

"When some international coaches call my players up it means we're doing a good job."
