Leicester City's Andrej Kramaric granted work permit in time for Stoke clash

Leicester City have announced that new signing Andrej Kramaric has finalised his move to the King Power Stadium after securing a work permit.

The 23-year-old has been awaiting the relevant paperwork after agreeing to join the Foxes from HNK Rijeka last week.

Now, it has been confirmed that Kramaric is eligible to play in Saturday's encounter against Stoke City and could make his home debut for Leicester.

Manager Nigel Pearson told the club's official website: "We've watched Andrej for a long time so we knew we were signing a player that could add great quality to English football and I'm delighted that the relevant authorities have seen the situation the same way."

The Premier League outfit are said to have paid in the region of £10m for the Croatian.
