DONE DEAL: Leicester sign Hull goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic

Leicester City have completed the signing of Hull City goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic.

The 32-year-old has signed a three-year deal with the Foxes for a reported fee which could rise up to £2.25million.

He becomes the club's third summer signing and joins them in Hong Kong for the Premier League Asia Trophy, with Leicester facing West Brom on Wednesday.

Jakupovic told LCFC TV: "I'm very happy and excited that the deal is finally done. I'm very excited to be a part of something special here and I can't wait for the first game.

"I knew from the beginning that it will be difficult for myself because Kasper (Schmeichel) is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League.

"I'm going to fight and I'm here to push. A healthy competition is always good and that's only a positive thing. For sure, I'll wait for my chance but I am here and I'm very excited."
