Leicester deal in ex-Arsenal defender Blackman

Leicester City are signing trialist Andre Blackman.

The Mirror says despite release by Bristol City, the former Arsenal, Tottenham and Pompey left-back is still rated as one of the best talents outside the Premier League.

And he has now earned a permanent contract at the Championship Foxes after impressing on a trial.

Londoner Blackman has agreed to be mentored by Leicester player-coach and former England full-back Chris Powell to get his career back on track.
