​Leicester star Vardy admits goals needed for World Cup ticket

Leicester forward Jamie Vardy is aware he needs to improve this season if he is to be considered for England's 2018 World Cup squad.

The 30-year managed 13 Premier League goals last season compared to the 24 he bagged in Leicester's miracle 2015-16 campaign and Vardy will be hoping he can get closer to that total this upcoming season.

"Obviously I want to score more than I did last year." he said. "That is down to me with my striking and making sure I am getting the goals so I am playing on a regular basis to do that.

"Then if I have had a good season who knows? It could be the World Cup next year."
