DONE DEAL: Leicester midfielder Iborra says 'right time' to join Villarreal

Leicester midfielder Vicente Iborra has joined Spanish side Villarreal for an undisclosed fee.

The 30-year-old Spaniard joined the Foxes from Sevilla in July 2017 after winning the Europa League three times.

Iborra made 37 appearances, scoring four goals, but started only three league games this season.

"We feel that it's time to come back home," he said. "I've felt privileged for wearing this jersey and playing beside these great supporters.

"You made me feel one of yours, thanks from my heart for your unconditional support."
