Leicester City have confirmed the signing of defender Woyo Coulibaly from Parma.
The 25-year-old moves to King Power Stadium on a four-and-a-half-year deal and becomes head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy’s second addition of the January transfer window, along with the recall of striker Tom Cannon from his loan at Stoke City.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Coulibaly said: “It’s an honour to be here. I feel very good, very welcomed and the training ground is very impressive.
"There’s been a lot of impressive players at the Club. It’s going to be a challenge in the Premier League but one that I’m very much looking forward to.”

Coulibaly, born in Gonesse, France, began his career with French side Le Havre having come through their youth system, before being signed by Parma in August 2021.
In total, he made 82 appearances for Parma and scored once.
He will provide additional depth for Leicester who are currently 19th in the table and have lost their last five league matches.
After Wednesday’s home match with Crystal Palace, Leicester are next in action on Saturday when they welcome Fulham.
