Jamie Vardy is a 'big champion' who will overcome his goal drought, says Claudio Ranieri

Jamie Vardy has been reassured he will hit double figures for Leicester this season and come good like the world’s best under Claudio Ranieri.

The Leicester manager is convinced the England star will return to the goal trail as he prepares to face one of his favourite opponents.

The striker has gone 11 games without a goal for Leicester but has scored late winners twice against West Brom, in April 2015 and October 2015.

Vardy scored 24 goals for City last season, to help them win the Premier League, and has been long-listed with team-mate Riyad Mahrez for the Ballon d’Or prize for the world’s greatest player.
