“I was happy speaking with the manager, knowing what the team wants. It gives me more confidence that I will fit in this team and hopefully I’ll achieve a lot.”

Leicester boss Shakespeare is delighted with his new signing, believing that the club have signed one of the best young players in the Premier League.

“It’s a great signing for us," Shakespeare said. "Kelechi is an enormously talented player that has shown a huge amount of promise at every level in which he’s played.
