Vardy's exploits in front of goal this season &mdash; he has 18 Premier League goals &mdash; have been pivotal to Leicester&rsquo;s surprise title challenge and the 29-year-old is in talks about a new improved contract to keep him at the King Power Stadium until 2019. His existing deal expires in 2018.

top of the scoring charts, a position Aguero has often occupied since his arrival in England from Atletico Madrid four and a half years ago.
Ranieri said: &ldquo;Sergio Aguero, every year. Jamie just one. I hope he does it next season, next season, next season for us. Jamie is playing very well and he links very well with his teammates but he must improve.&rdquo;
New contract Asked if there was any progress with Vardy&rsquo;s new contract, the Italian said: &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t ask. He trains well every day and this is okay. This is normal, the strikers in every team earn more.&rdquo;
Both Vardy and Aguero were on target again in midweek as Leicester maintained their three-point cushion over City at the EPL summit.
Vardy&rsquo;s two goals against Liverpool, the first a stunning 35-yard volley from the right side of the penalty area, gave Leicester successive wins for the first time since the week before Christmas, while Aguero netted in a 1-0 victory at Sunderland.
Ranieri reckons Vardy&rsquo;s opener ranks alongside Marco van Basten&rsquo;s stunning volley for Holland against Russia in the 1988 European Championship final.
&lsquo;Vardy like Van Basten&rsquo; He said: "It&rsquo;s incredible what Vardy did. He watched the ball, watched the opponent and watched the &rsquo;keeper. It&rsquo;s amazing, fantastic. I can put him with Van Basten when he makes a fantastic goal. I don&rsquo;t know if you watched (Francesco) Totti when he scored against Sampdoria (in 2006). They are amazing goals.&rdquo;
