Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has admitted that he once looked into the possibility of buying a penguin for his family.
Vardy is one of the most renowned Premier League players of the modern era. His achievements for Leicester City have firmly etched his name into the history books.
Over his eight-year stint in England’s top tier, not only has he created a lasting legacy, but it’s safe to assume he’s also banked a whole load of cash.
While some would spend it on property, fast cars or flash watches, Vardy has different ideas to what is considered the norm, as the told The Sun.

“I know it sounds really strange but I looked up trying to buy a penguin to have in the garden. It’s the cuteness. I’ve not purchased one.”
“However, while searching, I found out how to buy a giraffe and all sorts of exotic animals, legally.”
It’s just as well that he decided against getting one, because you can imagine animal activists wouldn’t have been best pleased with Vardy housing a penguin in this climate.
Penguins naturally live in the cold – we’re not entirely sure the Midlands qualify, even if they are notoriously miserable.
