English Premier League champions Leicester have made their first summer signing with the acquisition of goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler from Hannover.

The 27-year-old Germany international arrives for an undisclosed fee and has put pen to paper on a four-year contract to keep him at King Power Stadium until 2020.

Zieler will link up with his new team-mates when Leicester return to training in July, ahead of an exciting pre-season schedule which includes matches against Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Celtic in the International Champions Cup.

He told the club’s official website, lcfc.com: “It feels great coming to Leicester and joining the club after they’ve had such a great season - it’s really nice to be part of the club now.

“I’ve been shown around the training ground and it looks very good and I’ve been to the stadium – I heard about the great atmosphere and the great fans, so my first impression is very good.”
