And Vardy admits he's drawing inspiration from Juventus legend Alessandro del Piero ahead of his potential debut.

He said: "When I was younger, it was Del Piero (who I admired most). 

"You watch him play – he was unbelievable. Watching him score most weeks was really encouraging for me. 

"Having watched that, me coming here and trying to do exactly the same - it’s really exciting."

Vardy is also confident striking a good relationship with Cremonese coach Davide Nicola.

He also stated, "The passion that he’s got for the football club and for the football itself, and how he wants to progress and wanting a team of fighters - that was me down to a tee,' he added.  

"Every week, it’s not about who you’re playing against, it’s what you do as a team and that’s what we’re just going to concentrate on. 

"They’re all going to be difficult. Everyone wants to get three points. I might have to adapt slightly, but it’s something that I’m looking forward to doing. I’m here to fight, to score, and to help this club make its mark."
