His phenomenal form in 2019/20 has contributed to Leicester City’s best-ever Premier League start, which saw them register a Club record of eight-straight top-flight successes.

This season, the records have truly been tumbling for the Foxes, who, spearheaded by the emphatic No.9, head into the Boxing Day match against Liverpool in second position.

Such is Vardy’s success under Brendan Rodgers this campaign, he is six goals clear of the Premier League’s next three top scorers – Tammy Abraham, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Danny Ings – in second.

But for Vardy, who has bagged 97 goals in 194 Premier League games for City, there is still plenty more to come.

“I don’t feel 32, that’s the thing!” said Vardy when asked about his upcoming birthday on 11 January – the same day the Foxes face Southampton at King Power Stadium.

“I just keep going, I just keep looking after myself and making sure I’m putting the effort in on the training field, which then I’ll hopefully transfer into the games.

“It’s benefitting me to the fullest at the minute.”

Vardy cited the use of a cryotherapy chamber at both his own home and City’s Belvoir Drive training ground as a factor that has allowed him to maintain his incredible goalscoring form.

“We’ve got one at the training ground, but obviously you only get to use it during training hours, so I went out and got one put in the house so that I could use it whenever I wanted,” he added.

“I use it quite regularly... it's cold!"
