'Going to be a tough moment for everyone' - Albrighton

Former Leicester winger Marc Albrighton has labelled Jamie Vardy the Foxes' greatest ever player.

Albrighton won the Premier League and FA Cup alongside Vardy while at the King Power Stadium, and his former team-mate is the only remaining player from the title-winning squad of 2015-16.

Albrighton, who left the Foxes last year, knows what legacy he leaves.

"He is obviously the greatest ever Leicester player," he told BBC Sport. "Everything he's achieved individually and with the team will never be forgotten by the Leicester fans and the club.

"It's going to be be tough for everyone because kids have grown up watching him and it's going to be a tough moment for everyone.

"It will take some getting used to not having him around the club."

Vardy is two goals away from scoring 200 for Leicester, with five games left of the season and his Foxes career.

As well as winning the Premier League and FA Cup he also helped the Foxes to the Champions League quarter-finals in 2016-17 and the Europa Conference League semi-final in 2022.

However, after a second relegation in three seasons from the Premier League was confirmed on Sunday, he described it as a "total embarrassment".

"He certainly wouldn't have wanted to go out on these terms but you've just got to recognise when you're ready and when the time is right," said Albrighton.

"I don't think there's ever been a good time for him to do this. You have to look past what's happened in this last year and recognise what he's done in the ast 12 or 13 years.

"It's not ideal the club have just been relegated and he goes out now but at the same time everybody has to move on, Vards himself and the club."
