Alan Smith believes Jamie Vardy would have improved as a footballer had he not snubbed a move to Arsenal in favour of a new deal at Leicester.
Leicester confirmed on Thursday that the England striker had turned down the Gunners and agreed a new four-year deal at the King Power Stadium - to be signed once he returns from international duty - after Arsenal had triggered a clause in his existing contract.
He said: "I think you should push yourself though and if he'd gone to Arsenal he would have been training - with no disrespect to Leicester - with better players, higher quality players and that improves you as a footballer.”
