Vardy has established himself as one of the deadliest mask men in the Premier League since Leicester City’s promotion to the English top flight in the 2014/2015 season.
The former Halifax Town man won the Premier League Golden Boot last season scoring 23 goals and has started this campaign on a high, having netted ten goals from his first twelve games.
Mourinho has praised the Englishman , though he admitted it is a shame the 33-year-old started his top-flight career so late.
Vardy was 25 when he joined Leicester City from non-league Fleetwood in 2012, making his Premier League debut two years later.
“He is so, so dangerous. A team when he plays, if it with Claudio or Brendan or with other coaches, never forgets the qualities that the specific player has,” Mourinho said about Vardy in his press conference ahead of Spurs’ game against Leicester City on Sunday.
"He is incredible. I just feel sorry for him in the sense that he arrived in the Premier League too late. He should arrive a few years before and his career would be even longer, with more goals more history at the national team too.
"Fantastic player. If I was a defender I wouldn’t be happy to play against him because he is very dangerous."
