Leicester City will sign young Spanish striker Raul Uche Rubio from Rayo Vallecano on a four-year deal from 1 July, 2016 for an undisclosed fee.

The Foxes beat off competition from a host of teams for the 18-year-old, who will join his new team-mates from the Club’s Academy setup once pre-season training begins again next month.

Uche will become the second Spanish addition made by the Club this summer, with centre back Luis Hernandez also set to arrive to bolster City’s defensive ranks ahead of the 2016/17 campaign.

The youngster, who is highly regarded in Spain, is set to take part in pre-season for Leicester City’s Development Squad, with a full fixture schedule to be confirmed on LCFC.com soon.
