Jamie Vardy says he feels as fit as ever and is keen to prove the doubters wrong as the 38-year-old begins a new chapter in his career at Serie A club Cremonese.

Vardy joined promoted Cremonese after leaving Leicester City, where he scored 200 goals in 500 appearances during a 13-year spell.

His move comes after Kevin De Bruyne (34) and Luka Modric (40) also arrived in the Italian top flight, and when asked by a reporter if veterans were still motivated to perform at the highest level Vardy said his desire had not dimmed.

"You must be one of the doubters. You're one that I'll have to prove wrong," he said on Wednesday.
