‘I follow their games & playing style’ – Daka reveals the player he admires at Leicester City

The Zambia forward is ready to start a new adventure in the Premier League after completing a permanent move from Salzburg on Wednesday

Leicester City new signing Patson Daka has described Jamie Vardy as one of the players he looks up to, having been an ardent follower of the club since their Premier League success in 2016.

The 22-year-old who moved to England on a five-year deal from RB Salzburg, is looking forward to learning and playing alongside the England international who has ended the last six league seasons as the Foxes' top scorer.

Wednesday's switch comes as a new challenge for Daka who clinched the top scorer prize in the Austrian Bundesliga last season with 27 goals in 28 matches.
