Sevilla have announced the sale of Vicente Iborra to Leicester City.

The 29-year-old Spaniard is now expected to meet Leicester officials to discuss a contract and undergo a medical.

Reports have suggested Iborra, who played against the Foxes in the Champions League last season, will cost the English club around £12million.

Iborra, who can also operate as a forward, has scored 30 goals in 172 games since joining Sevilla from Levante four years ago.

He has won the Europa League three times and he captained the side last season.

A statement from Sevilla read: "Sevilla FC and Leicester City FC have reached an agreement in principle for the transfer of Vicente Iborra."
