'I found out how to buy a giraffe': Jamie Vardy reveals how he tried to buy a penguin for his garden

Jamie Vardy has revealed a bizarre story about trying to buy a penguin to keep in his garden.

He 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."

Premiership footballers are known to splash the cash on fast cars and big houses. Vardy however, seems to take things a step even further with the desire to own exotic animals.

The eccentric Leicester City forward would probably face a lot of stick from animal rights groups, as exotic animals like penguins prefer the cold. England is cold but not nearly cold enough so it's probably a good thing Vardy let this idea go.
