Sevilla midfielder to sign for Leicester City

Premier League club Leicester City are about to secure the signing for Sevilla midfielder Vicente Iborra for a reported sum of £12m, according to the Independent.
The Spanish side that admitted that a deal was agreed between the two clubs and that now 29-year-old Iborra will make the move to the Midlands club, where he will see his wages doubled in size.

The 29-year-old played against the Foxes during their Champions League spell last season, with some of the recruiting staff at Leicester City feelings that the Spaniard is a perfect suit for manager Craig Shakespeare’s style of play, with the player able to operate as a deep-lying midfielder, using his towering presence as a threat in set-pieces and aerial duels.

It is thought that he will join up at the side later this week, with speculation still surfacing that Riyad Mahrez will be making a move out of the 2015/16 Premier League champions, with North London side Arsenal looming.
