Leicester successful in securing Croatia striker Kramaric

Premiership strugglers Leicester City have confirmed the signing of Croatia striker Andrej Kramaric after the 24-year-old was granted a UK work permit. The Foxes agreed a fee, thought to be more than £9m - which would be a club record, with his previous club FC Rijeka last week.

The striker is now available to make his debut when the Foxes host Stoke City in the Premier League tomorrow.

"We've watched Andrej for a long time so we knew we were signing a player that could add great quality to English football and I'm delighted that the relevant authorities have seen the situation the same way," boss Nigel Pearson told the club's official website.
