Leicester City have announced the signing of striker Kelechi Iheanacho from Manchester City

Iheanacho has agreed a five-year deal to join the Foxes for an undisclosed fee. He is Leicester's fourth senior summer signing and will wear the No 8 shirt.

"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," he told lcfc.com.

Craig Shakespeare added: "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." 

Iheanacho has scored 12 goals in 46 PL appearances since making his debut in August 2015.

The 20-year-old Nigeria international could make his Leicester debut in the opening match of the 2017/18 season, at Arsenal on Friday 11 August.
