Leicester have signed Belgium midfielder Dennis Praet on a five-year deal.

Praet joins from Serie A club Sampdoria for an undisclosed fee thought to be around £18million.

A statement on the official club website said: “Leicester City Football Club have agreed terms with Sampdoria for the transfer of attacking midfielder Dennis Praet, subject to Premier League and international clearance.”

Praet becomes Leicester’s fourth summer signing following the arrivals of defender James Justin, winger Ayoze Perez and midfielder Youri Tielemans.

He will now link up with his new Leicester team-mates ahead of the Foxes’ Premier League opener against Wolves on Sunday.
