Leicester City complete Iborra signing

Sevilla midfielder Vicente Iborra has completed his switch to Leicester City on a four-year deal.

Since 2013, Iborra has played a key role in the centre of the pitch at the La Liga side, with 30 goals being scored in 169 appearances in all competitions.

However, he has decided to swap Spain for the East Midlands with the Foxes paying a reported £12.5m fee to sign him.

Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare told the club's official website: "I'm absolutely delighted that Vicente has joined us.

"He's player with such a good pedigree from his time in Spain with Sevilla and he adds some really strong competition to our squad."

Iborra is no stranger to the King Power Stadium having represented Sevilla when they were knocked out of the Champions League by Leicester earlier in 2017.

The 29-year-old joins defender Harry Maguire in making the transfer to the 2015-16 league champions.
