Report: Leicester City close to completing club-record Andrej Kramaric signing

Andrej Kramaric will officially complete his move to Leicester City later today in what is believed to be a club-record deal for the Foxes, according to a report.

Croatian club Rijeka confirmed yesterday that an agreement had been struck for the services of the highly-rated youngster, although no official confirmation had been given by the Premier League outfit.

However, ESPN claims that the 23-year-old, who has scored 28 goals in 24 appearances for his current club, has agreed a three-and-a-half-year deal at the King Power Stadium which will go through today.

The fee agreed between the two clubs is said to be in the region of £9.7m, which surpasses the Foxes' previous record bid of £8m paid out for Leonardo Ulloa last summer.

Kramaric, who was also strongly tipped with a move to Chelsea this month, may have to wait for his Leicester debut as the East Midlands outfit must first apply for a work permit for their star signing.
