His departure from Leicester City propelled him to become one of the most prolific forwards in Europe.
Leicester City was dominating the Championship, easily taking down opponents and making the league look easy.
After the Foxes secured their 11th win in 12 games with a 3-1 victory over Swansea City, they set a record for the best start to a Championship season since 2004. Talk of breaking the points record for a second-tier campaign began, but two back-to-back losses against Leeds United and Middlesbrough put a halt to those discussions, at least for the time being.
Amid an all-star Leicester squad, Jamie Vardy has stood out as the constant force driving the team towards success since his arrival in 2012.
At 36 years old, Vardy’s goal-scoring abilities have naturally declined, but he has still demonstrated his ability to find the back of the net. Even though his goal tally of four in 16 matches falls short of his previous seasons’ performances, Vardy’s quick movements and physical presence continue to trouble opposing defenses.
Despite selling Andrej Kramaric in 2016, Leicester City watched as the Croatian forward excelled in the Bundesliga, scoring 121 goals and providing 51 assists in 262 appearances for Hoffenheim.
Kramaric struggled to adapt to the Premier League, making just four appearances and scoring four times before being loaned out to Hoffenheim. His success after leaving the King Power Stadium has led to many speculating if Leicester would take him back.
