5. Age

Many people will be surprised that Vardy is already 29 years old and should be at the peak of his career. Yes he has been unstoppable at times this season, but due to him nearly hitting the wrong side of 30, could seasons like this be limited?

His first half of the season was nothing but world-class and he scored some great goals and a lot of them, but since then he hasn’t been as consistent although he has chipped in with more goals to keep Leicester fighting for the title. However, Kane has once again scored a lot of goals this season after a remarkable season last year and at a young age of just 22, you can see that his potential is endless.

Rightly so, there is not a huge amount between the two England strikers, and I expect them both to play a big part for the national team in the summer, but Kane and Vardy are near enough at the same level, however Kane is only 22 and Vardy is 29. It seems more likely that Kane will go onto much better things because he is showing the ability Vardy has and more at just 22. So I expect Kane to go onto much better things than Vardy in the future with the ability he has.
