Leicester striker Vardy: I don't suit Puel style

Jamie Vardy has admitted Claude Puel's style does not suit him.

The Englishman excelled in Leicester's title winning season in Claudio Ranieri's counter-attacking style.

Vardy has not seen the same results in Puel's possession-based system, but the 31-year-old says he needs to work hard in order to adjust.

Asked if Puel's style suited him, Vardy told Sky Sports News: "Does it? No, but is that down to me to adapt to it? Yes.

"And obviously the only way I'm going to do that and keep progressing is working hard on the training field.

"It does get a bit frustrating but we are transitioning into a different style of play. I think we've just got to keep working hard on it and eventually it will get us going forward that bit quicker because when we get into attacking positions eventually the ball will get picked out for some of my runs."
