Ricardo Pereira has flown to the UK to undergo his medical and complete his £22million move to Leicester City.

The 24-year-old Portugal international is expected to complete his move from Porto in the next couple of days as Claude Puel begins his squad rebuilding ahead of the new season.

City wanted to get the deal done quickly before Pereira disappears with Portugal to prepare for the World Cup in Russia.

Pereira will become Puel’s first signing of the summer transfer window.

Right-back has been identified as an area of the squad that was in urgent need of strengthening and Pereira, who played under Puel while on loan at Nice, possesses the attacking qualities that the City boss wants from his full-backs.

Reports in Portugal state that Pereira will sign a five-year contract.

City will pay £17.5m initially with around £4m of add-ons.
