Leicester City have announced the signing of James Justin from Luton Town.
The 21-year-old right-back has agreed a five-year contract with Leicester and will move for an undisclosed fee, subject to Premier League approval.
Justin can also play at left-back and progressed through the youth ranks at Luton after joining in 2005 as a seven-year-old, helping them to earn back-to-back promotions to the Championship.
"I feel like I’m ready for this moment," Justin told Leicester's official website. "I hope to bring a lot of energy and commitment to the badge."
James cited the influence of working under Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers as a reason behind his move.
"The manager is great with the younger players and developing them through their careers," he said. "Everyone speaks very highly of him and I hope he can help me too."
Justin is Leicester's first signing of the transfer window and could make his Premier League debut when the Foxes open their campaign against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday 11 August.
"I'm over the moon." 🌖
