Leicester City have completed the signing of Ayoze Perez from Newcastle United.

The attacker had expressed a desire to move to Spain this summer, but changed his mind and moved to Leicester instead.

The Spanish striker is excited at the prospect of linking up with Brendan Rodgers and playing attacking football.

He made the decision to quit Newcastle as soon as manager Rafa Benitez left.

Speaking to LCFC TV, Prez said: "I'm very happy and very pleased. I'm very proud to be part of the Leicester family and I can't wait to get started.

"The Club want to keep growing as much as they can and that's something I like. I spoke with the manager and that was important. That made me feel very comfortable about the decision to come here."
