Vicente Iborra Officially Completes Leicester City Transfer from Sevilla

Leicester City completed the signing of midfielder Vicente Iborra from Sevilla on Thursday, with the Spaniard penning a four-year deal at King Power Stadium.

The Foxes confirmed the move on their Twitter account, bringing an end to a four-year stint for the 29-year-old at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, during which he won three consecutive UEFA Europa Leagues:

Leicester are believed to have paid £10.5 million to snap up the former Levante player, per BBC Sport.

Iborra expressed his excitement at playing in the Premier League upon signing for the Foxes, per the club's official website:

"I'm very happy to be here with Leicester City and I'm looking forward to experiencing the Premier League with my new team-mates next season. Everything about this club seems good and it's been great to meet my new team-mates. I've already spoken with them about the city and the club so I can't wait to get started."

Iborra has been a crucial part of a successful Sevilla side since joining on a five-year contract in 2013.

He departs the club having made 172 appearances and scored 30 goals, and he is Leicester's second signing of the summer following the capture of Harry Maguire from Hull City in June.

Per Goal's Tom Maston, he will slot into an engine room in manager Craig Shakespeare's squad that already includes Danny Drinkwater and Wilfred Ndidi:

Iborra can operate in a number of roles through the spine of the side, but he is most comfortable operating in the middle of the park, where he can contribute both in attack and defence. 

His experience and quality could make him a valuable addition at Leicester as they look to improve next season and avoid another relegation-battling campaign.
