DONE DEAL: Fuchs completes move from Schalke to Leicester

Leicester City have completed the signing of Austrian defender Christian Fuchs.

The 29-year old left-back has signed a three-year deal with the Foxes after leaving German club Schalke where he had been since 2011.

Fuchs, who has 66 caps for Austria, was delighted after landing a move to the King Power Stadium where he now gets the chance to compete in the world-renowned Premier League.

"I'm happy that I've signed for Leicester City. It was always a goal for me to play in the Premier League, and I'm happy that this dream has come true," he told the club's official website.

"Everybody watches the Premier League. I think it's the best league in the world. Leicester City is a new experience and new challenge for me."
