The 20-year-old centre-back has signed a pre-contract agreement with the Scottish club and a four-year deal.

"I am delighted to join Rangers and secure my future at a club of such stature," he told Rangers website.

"When I entered talks with Rangers, I knew this club was right for me.

"Of course I am thankful for everything Leicester has done for me and I am now very excited about working under Steven Gerrard and his coaching team to continue my progression.

"I have heard about the amazing atmosphere at Ibrox. I can't wait to start pre-season and take my career to the next level in the famous blue Rangers jersey."
