Leicester sign Bayer Leverkusen defender

 

Leicester have announced they have signed Bayer Leverkusen defender Aleksandar Dragovic on a season-long loan deal.

 

The 26-year-old only joined Leverkusen 12 months ago but struggled to make a significant impression at the club after being billed as a potential star ahead of Euro 2016.

 

Leicester have been keen to bolster their defensive ranks this summer and turned to the Austria international after missing out on Arsenal defender Calum Chambers.

 

Dragovic will join up his new teammates after concluding international duty with Austria and will provide competition at centre back and right back.
