Jamie Vardy will have no trouble adjusting to Arsenal's style of play if he decides to join the Gunners, according to his Leicester City team-mate Shinji Okazaki, as reported by the "?Daily Mail.
The Englishman has yet to make a decision on his future with an offer from Arsenal and one from Leicester, both believed to be of comparable size, on the table.
Arsenal activated Vardy's £20m release clause and agreed provisional personal terms with the 29-year-old, which prompted Leicester to respond with a new contract offer of their own, and while he was due to announce his decision before travelling with the England squad on Monday, there has been no movement on that front.
One of the perceived problems with Vardy joining Arsenal is a clash between Arsenal's style of play and Vardy's, but Okazaki does not see it as a barrier to success.
"I think he has the potential to adapt to any style of soccer. At Leicester, we just happened to play the way we did and he fit fine," the Japan international told Kyodo News.
"But even in a team that plays possession soccer, he has that sudden burst of speed and there are a lot of players at Arsenal who will notice that right away and play to that strength of his, like the way they did with (Danny) Welbeck.
"He's not someone who only tries to get behind the defence, though. He picks his spots. Someone like me, I have to really get set up and then go but he can quicken instantly, go from zero to full speed. He can adjust to any style.
"It is difficult to say what I would do if I were in his position.
"Arsenal have not won the league for a long time and that is maybe a dream (Vardy) has. He has won the league with Leicester and if he led Arsenal to the title rather than try and help Leicester defend it, then his stock would rise even further."?
