Denmark defender Jannik Vestergaard has completed a move to Leicester City from Southampton.
The 29-year-old has agreed a deal to remain at King Power Stadium until 2024, signing for an undisclosed fee.
Leicester moved swiftly to bolster their defensive ranks after Wesley Fofana sustained a broken leg in a pre-season friendly with Villarreal last week.

"I'm very happy and I'm really excited to get going," Vestergaard told the club's official website.
"It's a special club that has done very well over many years and I think the project is very, very exciting, even from the outside looking in. To be a part of it is a big thing for me."
Former Borussia Monchengladbach defender Vestergaard joined Southampton from the Bundesliga side in July 2018.
