RUUD van Nistelrooy says the whole club is desperate for Jamie Vardy to bow out with 200 Leicester goals.

The 38-year-old, who has scored 199 times for the Foxes, has three games to get to his double century before he leaves the club at the end of the season.

Team-mate Jordan Ayew has said he is only thinking about assisting his team-mate in the remaining matches and Van Nistelrooy reinforced the sentiment.

"They want to help because the players in the squad have realised over the past 13 years, the games and the goals he has scored, the trophies he's won, and being so loyal to the club in good and in bad,” the Dutchman said ahead of today's visit to Nottingham Forest.
