Former Leicester City striker, Jamie Vardy says age is just a number as he joins Italian side Cremonese at 38.
The 38-year-old left Leicester after spending 13 years with the club where he scored 200 goals in 500 appearances.
“Former Leicester striker Jamie Vardy said “age is just a number” as he opens a new chapter of his career with Italian side Cremonese.
“You must be one of the doubters. You’re one that I’ll have to prove wrong.
“For me age is just a number. As long as my legs are doing exactly what they used to and still feel as fresh as they do then I will carry on.
“At the moment there are no signs of them slowing down so I’ll keep going and I will be giving my all for this club.
“I will learn Italian, but [for now] it is not a problem: football has its own language, with the ball,” he said.
Vardy is expected to bring his experience to the Italian side’s attack. Cremonese started well in the league with a stunning 2-1 victory over AC Milan and a 3-2 win over Sassuolo.
