Leicester have signed Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho.
The 20-year-old has penned a five-year contract at the King Power Stadium.
“It feels good and I’m happy to be part of this team," Iheanacho said.
“I know the ambition of the team and speaking with the manager, he let me know what I need to do – to help the team achieve what they want.
I was convinced and I’m happy to be here.
“I was happy speaking with the manager, knowing what the team wants.
It gives me more confidence that I will fit in this team and hopefully I’ll achieve a lot.”
Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare said: “It’s a great signing for us.
“Kelechi is an enormously talented player that has shown a huge amount of promise at every level in which he’s played.
“We’ve tracked his progress for some time, so we know how much quality he’ll bring to the squad.
“He’s young, he’s hungry, he’s ready for the next stage of his development and I’m delighted that will be with Leicester City.”
The Nigerian international is expected to make his Leicester debut on Friday night when they take on Borussia Monchengladbach in a pre-season friendly.
