The Championship is something like the 7th highest paid league in the world, it's a very good league and it's definitely possible to make the step up.
Jamie Vardy only scored 16 goals in his best season in the Championship with Leciester, and in the two seasons he had with Chris he only scored 2 more goals (21 vs 19). Chris is definitely a better player now than he was back then. A few years later Vardy was fighting for the golden boot and winning the Premier League.
Not only is Chris Leeds (and the leagues) highest scorer, he's also got the third most assists in the team, and is praised for his all round play as much as his nose for goal. Definitely will be on the radar of PL teams.
