France and Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann has told a news outlet that he believes that Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy was one of last season's top three players.
The Roji Blancos star said Vardy, whose outstanding form helped propel the Foxes to the Premier League title, deserved praise for his achievements.
The former non-league striker scored 24 goals as the rank outsiders swept to a stunning success.
