League One club Shrewsbury Town have secured Leicester City midfielder Khanya Leshabela on loan.

The South Africa youth star, who is only 21, will spend the entire season with Shrewsbury.

Leshabela was involved at the Under-20 World Cup for his country in 2019, while he was a regular member of the Leicester Under-23 setup.

"I want a young squad with vibrancy and energy - he's got all of those things," said Shrewsbury boss Steve Cotterill in a statement.

"He's been on trial with Luton for a little while and I think they were interested in a permanent deal.

"Leicester didn't want to do that and, as it's evolved as every transfer does, we were able to step in."
