Liverpool scouts blamed for missing deal for Leicester star Jamie Vardy
JAMIE VARDY should have been snapped up by Liverpool, claims former striker John Aldridge.
John Aldridge says Liverpool should have done more to sign Jamie Vardy
Vardy is in blistering form this season, scoring 18 Premier League goals for the Foxes, including a wonder goal in the 2-0 win against the Reds in midweek.
And club legend Aldridge believes their scouts should have had their ears to the ground and snapped up the 29-year-old when he was at Fleetwood Town.
"Liverpool missed out there, but then so did a lot of clubs. Good on Leicester for taking the punt. They haven't half been rewarded."
Vardy has made 26 appearances for Leicester in all competitions this term, scoring 18 goals and now has four caps for England.
