Leicester City signing Boubakary Soumare admits speaking with Wesley Fofana ahead of leaving Lille.
The pair are France U21 teammates.
"I spoke to Wesley about the Club, the environment and everything around it and he only had good things to say," the 22-year-old told lcfc.com.
"He's already achieved so much with the Club in a short space of time and it's massive. It's encouraging to see another young French player doing so well after making the move. He's a great guy.
"I think the best way to describe myself is a team player who gives everything on the pitch. It was an amazing feeling [to win the league with Lille], a truly unique feeling and I would love to be successful with Leicester in future. It's given me a desire to achieve more.
"I'm excited to join this Leicester City team. I will give everything for the team and for the Club."
