JAMIE VARDY insists he still has no regrets about snubbing Arsenal to stay at Leicester last summer.
The striker came close to securing a sensational switch to the Emirates following the Foxes' title-winning campaign.
Arsene Wenger met the England international's buy-out clause and a big contract was in the offing, but Vardy chose to continue his story with Leicester.
However, despite his prolific form last year, the 2016/17 season has proven far more challenging for the 30-year-old and his team-mates.
Claudio Ranieri's side sit precariously in 17th place, and Jamie Vardy has scored just five Premier League goals in 22 appearances.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are fourth, having alternated between Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud up front.
The Leicester forward was asked by BT Sport: "Are there any regrets about not joining Arsenal?'"
Vardy replied: "No regrets whatsoever."
On the situation at the King Power Stadium, he added: "We're all together, every person knows the position were in, nobody wants to be there and it's not looking good, but we know that each man has got to be there digging in deep and looking out for each other.
"If someone gets in a sticky situation you know that you've got your team-mates to help you out. We need to dig in for each other.
"I can categorically confirm that every single person is behind Claudio. At the end of the day look what he did for us last year, it was amazing and he's a great guy and he's the same as us, he doesn't want to be in this position."
Jamie Vardy's having a party!
Tue, May 3, 2016Leicester City are Premier League champions and Jamie Vardy is having a party to celebrate!
Leicester City have won the Premier League!
Leicester and Vardy earned a welcome boost last night amid their poor start to 2017 as a place in the Champions League quarter-finals is still possible.
The former Arsenal target scored a crucial away goal at Sevilla as the Foxes lost 2-1 in Spain.
Contrastingly, the Gunners have almost no hope of progression after their 5-1 mauling at Bayern Munich last week.
