Leicester have agreed terms for the signing of Turkish winger Cengiz Under on a season-long loan from Roma.
The 23-year-old was due to join up with his new team-mates and manager Brendan Rodgers ahead of Sunday evening’s game against Burnley, although the move is subject to Premier League and international clearance.

Speaking to lcfc.com, Under said: “I can’t wait to go to Leicester and start training. I’ve always wanted to play in England and this is a great opportunity to play in the Premier League.”
Under made his debut for Turkey aged 19 and will now play alongside his international team-mate Caglar Soyuncu.
“I will try to help my team-mates on the pitch and off the pitch and I believe that I can improve my performance every day,” said the winger. “I think I am fast and can create lots of chances for my colleagues.
“I feel very good because my best friend plays for Leicester City. I am very happy to be able to play with Caglar and I always watched Leicester’s games because of him.”
Under began his senior career with Altinordu before moving to Istanbul Basaksehir in 2016 and then making the switch to Italy a year later.
He has made 70 league appearances for Roma, scoring 13 goals.
