Jamie Vardy has been stuck on 99 Premier League goals for FOUR MONTHS... now Leicester's dodgy restart is holding back his fairytale journey from non league to rubbing shoulders with Alan Shearer and Co in the 100 club

Jamie Vardy is on the brink of becoming the 29th player to reach 100 goals in the Premier League.

The former England striker scored his 98th and 99th top-flight goals in Leicester's 4-0 thrashing of Aston Villa in March.

However, the enforced break in the football season due to coronavirus saw Vardy stranded one short of entering the exclusive 100 club.

Jamie Vardy need one more goal to become the 29th player to reach 100 Premier League goals

Should Vardy score again between now and the end of the season, he will have reached 100 Premier League goals in fewer games than Romelu Lukaku, Wayne Rooney, Didier Drogba, Nicolas Anelka and Jermain Defoe.
