Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has spoken of their 2015/16 title winning team.

Two of the stars from that side, N'Golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez, have since left for Chelsea and Manchester City respectively.

On Kante, Vardy told BT Sport: I remember that he was brought in and didn't want a car, because he thought he could walk to training every day.

"He is such a nice boy and he is fantastic on the field. It doesn't matter where he is, he always wants to get the ball back."

Vardy also said of Mahrez: He thought it was great to play tricks. Every day, even if it didn't work. I can still remember a great goal from him against Chelsea."

And the striker reserved special praise for captain Wes Morgan.

He added: Morgan is everything that a captain must be. He has taken me in tow from the moment I signed.

It didn't feel weird at all during the season that we became champions, everyone just had a good time and we continued to watch it from game to game. No exciting speeches, just a squad that enjoyed the season."
