He told the club's website: "It feels great coming to Leicester and joining the Club after they've had such a great season "? it's really nice to be part of the Club now. I've been shown around the training ground and it looks very good and I've been to the stadium "? I heard about the great atmosphere and the great fans, so my first impression is very good."?
The Foxes are beginning to ramp up their transfer business ahead of a busy upcoming season, with a Champions League campaign to add to their Premier League title defence after an astonishing year.
The Foxes famously used a very small number of players in their Premier League winning campaign, but the additional strains of midweek games in European competition has led Claudio Ranieri and co to search for reinforcements over the upcoming summer transfer window.

Ranieri said recently of the transfer market: "We are watching. Of course, we want to build a very good team. First of all we want to keep our stars, our group, because it's a fantastic group. It will be important to find the right players with the right mentality and intelligence, and fighters."
