Leicester City have announced the signing of Harry Maguire from Hull City.
The central defender has agreed a five-year deal, joining for an undisclosed fee after Hull’s relegation from the Premier League in 2016/17.
"Once I had my eyes on this club, I always wanted to join," Maguire told lcfc.com. "Thankfully I’m here so I can’t wait to get the season started and kick on."
"A very exciting time." 🗣🎥🦊

The 24-year-old made 29 PL appearances last season and scored two goals.
Maguire becomes Craig Shakespeare's first transfer since the new permanent manager signed a three-year contract last week.
Maguire could play his first match for Leicester in the Premier League Asia Trophy on 19 July against West Bromwich Albion in Hong Kong.
