2015-16 Premier League: Team of the season

Striker – Jamie Vardy (Leicester City)

The man who took English football by storm this season, Jamie Vardy has been absolutely sensational this year. The England frontman defied all expectations and played like a true champion throughout the season.

Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy broke a long-standing record when he scored in 11 consecutive Premier League games earlier this season. With the work rate of a horse that never sees him tire, the 29-year-old has used his blistering pace to run at defences with a direct approach on the counter-attack to score, set up teammates and even win a penalty or two.

Jamie Vardy’s rise has truly been the stuff of fairytales and he has been one of Premier league’s best strikers this season finishing second in the race for the golden boot, just behind his England team-mate and Tottenham superstar Harry Kane.
