Matos wary of veteran Vardy as Swans host Clarets

[Getty Images] Vitor Matos believes 39-year-old Jamie Vardy is still capable of making a mark in the Championship as the former England striker eyes a Burnley debut at Swansea City. Vardy is set to be named in the Clarets squad to visit the Swansea.com Stadium, having joined Burnley this week after departing Italian club Cremonese. And Swansea head coach Matos believes the former Leicester City frontman, who scored 200 goals in 500 Foxes appearances, still has the tools to thrive in the second tier. "He is someone who understands how to score goals," said Matos, who is 14 months younger than Vardy. "He moves really well - he always did that. He has a lot of talent - his finishing skills are there. "Of course it's different when you are 39 compared to when you are 25, but the experience is there and when he has still the desire to play, of course he can have impact." Burnley boss Nicky Hayen must hope Vardy's arrival will help inspire an upturn in fortune for the Clarets after their slow start to the season. Relegated from the Premier League last term, the Lancashire side are in the Championship's bottom three having failed to win a league game in this campaign. But Matos says Burnley's lowly position "doesn't really translate to how they are". He describes Burnley as having a "really good squad, good players, new coach". He added: "They are in this moment of adjusting themselves, but the quality is there. "I think there were games where they could have had more… but it is an early stage in the season still and I really expect a good game from them."
