Jamie Vardy still at a loss for words about Leicester City's title

Jamie Vardy says he's still at a loss for words when he tries to describe Leicester City's improbable climb to the top of the Premier League.

Leicester have been champions for a week following Tottenham's draw on April 2, and they were finally able to lift the trophy on Saturday after beating Everton.

In an interview with ESPN FC, Vardy was asked how to sum Liecester's feat, but Vardy said: "You can't. It's hard to explain.

"Obviously no one expected us to be within a shout and we've just kept going all season and made that come to reality. But trying to put that into words is very hard.

"Seeing Wes and the boss [Claudio Ranieri] lift the trophy and then it getting passed around to each of the lads to have a little hold themselves before the lap of honour, that's when it did it home. To try to put it into words is massively hard to do."

Vardy's long journey from a non-league player to Premier League champion has become the stuff of legend, but the striker said he's not the only Leicester player who's had a tough road.

"Everyone obviously knows where I've come from to where I am now, so it took a lot of hard work, but it for me personally, it's a massive achievement," he said. "And for the whole lads in the dressing room as well, it's brilliant for them.

"Some have got released from bigger clubs and sold to lower-league clubs first, and then had to work their way back up. So for most of the lads to have done that and for us to have achieved this, it's unbelievable."

Leicester were 5,000-1 shots to win the title this season, and though the odds will be significantly smaller next season, Vardy said Leicester aren't yet finished winning.

Asked about Leicester's chances to repeat their feat a year from now, Vardy said: "We're hoping so. With the lads that we've got, everyone's close together and we fight for each other so who's to say it won't?"

The Foxes' title also secured them one of the top eight seeds in the Champions League next season, and Vardy said he doesn't think the team will have to change anything to have similar success in Europe.

"We've just got to do what we've done this season," he said. "We've enjoyed our football and winning games so hopefully we can carry on taking that into next season and just go out and enjoy the experience and hopefully put the performances in that gets us points."

Leicester have one more game this weekend, with Vardy tied for second on 24 goals with Man City's Sergio Aguero and one behind leader Harry Kane of Tottenham. But despite the game at Chelsea not meaning anything for the table, Vardy said he's still looking to win first.

"It'd be nice but the main thing is for Leicester to keep trying to have that winning mentality, so we'll go into Chelsea trying to win," he said. "And if I don't score and we win, that's how it's going to finish."

Vardy said he won't have any words for thanks for Eden Hazard, whose goal a week ago clinched Leicester's title, though he did enjoy how the Chelsea player entered into Leicester lore.

"I found it quite hilarious travelling to the game on Saturday, someone had a Leicester shirt with '10 Hazard' on the back, which was quite funny to see," he said.

On Thursday, England will announce their squad for Euro 2016, a list Vardy is eager to make.

"Obviously it depends if I've been selected, which we'll find out this week," he said. "And then if I have I just know I have to keep working as hard as possible to hopefully put myself in the manager's plans."

But asked to pick a favourite if England fail to win the tournement, Vardy showed his focus, saying: "There are no other top picks."
