Leicester City striker Patson Daka says it is a “big privilege” to learn from Jamie Vardy close up since joining the Premier League club.
Zambia international Daka has had to bide his time since signing for the Foxes in June, but netted all his side’s goals in their 4-3 away win against Spartak Moscow in the Europa League on Wednesday.
And the 23-year-old says studying Vardy, who has scored 125 Premier League goals for Leicester, has helped his game.
“Jamie has been one of my inspirations,” Daka said after his heroics in Moscow.
“I am sure you can tell with the kind of playing style that I have, which is similar to him. It is a big privilege for me to be working alongside him. He helps me a lot in training.
“I keep learning each and every day and I am blessed to be in this position.”
