Leicester City have announced the signing of N'Golo Kante from Caen on a four-year deal.

The Premier League outfit, who survived last season's relegation battle, have been linked with the 24-year-old midfielder throughout the summer.

Now, it has been confirmed that Kante is Claudio Ranieri's first signing of the transfer window since the Italian was appointed manager at the King Power Stadium.

The midfielder, who will wear the number 14 shirt, arrives at Leicester having scored six goals in 82 appearances across two years at Caen.

Reports have claimed that the Foxes have paid £5.6m for Kante.
