Leicester City have confirmed the signing of Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Oliver Skipp, who has penned a five-year contract with the club.

He told Leicester's website: "I'm really excited to sign. I've got the feeling that it's a good group of people and a good group of players. I'm sure that we've got a squad capable of challenging in every game. You look around the squad and there's lots of exciting players who have played in the Premier League and I'm really excited to see what this group can achieve.

"I had conversations with the people here and they gave me a feeling of warmth and that they were excited to have me on board. As a player, when you feel that excitement, that's something you can use to develop your game. The staff here know me as well - Steve [Cooper], I have worked with at England so there's definitely a good relationship there and I'm keen to push on and show what I can do."
