Jamie Vardy made the right decision to reject the chance to join Arsenal and sign a new contract with Leicester, Foxes captain Wes Morgan has said, and backed his teammate to get even better this season.
Vardy scored 24 goals in 36 Premier League games last season to fire the Leicester to the title and Morgan believes he can replicate that form in the coming campaign.
He said: "Jamie had a fantastic season. It's to be expected that teams are going to be interested in him. But he has committed himself to Leicester now and it's great for the fans, the players and the club.
"He has proved himself on the big stage and, no doubt, he can do that again because he's much more confident now.
"Even on the international stage with England, he has been a threat straight away and, at Leicester, he's proved himself. We are the defending champions -- there's no reason for him to leave."
Leicester will take on the added challenge of Champions League football but Morgan insists it is one they can handle with Vardy spearheading their attack.
"[Vardy] can do damage in the Champions League," the defender said. "He's done his bit for England and Leicester, playing against some of the world's best last season. Now, he's going to find it's the same again in the -- Champions League, with some of the best defenders in the world.
"He's popped up with a variety of goals and I've no doubt he can make that transition. I'm sure teams will do their research and know about him -- he's a household name now, isn't he? So, teams will try to nullify his threat. But plenty of defenders have tried and failed so far. I'm just looking forward to seeing what he can do."
