Leicester City have confirmed the club will loan forward Andrej Kramarić to German outfit Hoffenheim for the remainder of the season.
The 24-year-old Croatian has been limited to just five first team appearances for the Foxes this campaign.
Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri said the Premier League club was happy to allow Kramaric to get regular action in the Bundesliga ahead of this summer's European Championships.
“Andrej has the European Championships to think about this summer, so it's important for him that he has the opportunity to play," said Ranieri.
“He is a fantastic player and a great professional but, in this moment, we have other strikers that are playing well. I spoke with him to understand what he wants to do and a loan is a solution that works for everybody. We will watch him closely at Hoffenheim."
