I’VE GOT NO REGRETS SAYS VARDY

JAMIE VARDY will face Arsenal with no regrets now that the Leicester fairytale is over.

Vardy will spearhead Leicester’s Premier League opener – against the club that tried to sign him last summer – a fortnight on Friday.

Foxes have come back down to earth after their magical titlewinning story two seasons ago.

Far from wondering what might have been in north London, however, Vardy (above) is happier that he went through the highs and lows of the last two years with his band of brothers at the King Power.

While Arsenal went out at the knock-out stage of the Champions League last season, Leicester reached the quarter-finals.

Vardy said: “I have no regrets whatsoever. I have made some great decisions in my life.

“Since I have been here we have gone from play-off heartache to winning the league and then battling relegation.

“Who knows, it might be another good season.”

Title-winning manager Claudio Ranieri exited last term with Leicester in free fall.

Vardy says Foxes stars are united behind Ranieri’s successor Craig Shakespeare.

“Shakey has been brilliant – he leaves no stone unturned,” he said. “He knows the night before what we are going to be doing the next day and everyone is putting 110 percent in for him.”

Vardy missed a string of opportunities in Leicester’s 2-1 defeat by Liverpool on Saturday in the final of Asia Trophy in Hong Kong, but he’s backed himself to get back on the goal trail and make it to next summer’s World Cup.

“I need to get back among the goals. If I have had a good season, who knows? It could be the World Cup next year,” he said.
