The former Dreams FC player revealed his delight at the move.

He told the Leicester website: "I'm so happy. This is an amazing moment for me, I'm happy to be here.

"For me, from looking at Leicester and how I felt about the coach, here is the best place for me.

"This was the best moment for me to join Leicester. I chose them because I think they can grow me and help me mature. The coach told me about the plans he has for me and how he wants me to play - how he wants to help me in my football."
