Ayoze Perez is thrilled with his move to Leicester City.

The former Newcastle United striker has joined the Foxes in a £30m deal.

Perez told Leicester's official website: “I'm very happy and very pleased. I'm very proud to be part of the Leicester family and I can't wait to get started.

“The club want to keep growing as much as they can and that's something I like.

“I spoke with the manager and that was important. That made me feel very comfortable about the decision to come here."

Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers added: “I think Ayoze will be a wonderful addition to the squad.

“He's quick, has a good eye for goal and he's experienced in the Premier League too.

“I think he's a player who will excite our supporters, and his style is one that I believe complements the options and quality that we already have here at the football club."
