Pereira compares Vardy to fellow Portugal international Ronaldo

The former non-league striker scored his 91st Premier League goal in Saturday’s 2-0 win over Arsenal

Leicester City defender Ricardo Pereira has likened ‘ruthless’ team-mate Jamie Vardy to his national compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese right-back lines up with Vardy for his club and Juventus star Ronaldo for his country, and believes the pair are very similar in front of goal.

Vardy sits atop the Premier League top goalscorer charts this season with 11 goals, one ahead of Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham after netting the opener in Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Arsenal.
