Leicester midfielder Vicente Iborra has joined Villarreal for an undisclosed fee, the Premier League club have announced.

The 30-year-old Spaniard joined Leicester from Sevilla in the summer of 2017 and went on to make 37 appearances for the Foxes.

Iborra has agreed a four-and-half-year contract with Villarreal that ties him to the La Liga club until June 2023, the Spanish side detailed on their website.

Iborra struggled to secure a regular spot in the side and was reduced to cameo roles or cup competitions to show his abilities.

He netted four goals during his time with Leicester - the most recent came in the 4-0 Carabao Cup win over Fleetwood Town back in August.

Villarreal were delighted to secure the signing of the midfielder who brings a wealth of experience in Spain with him.

Writing on their website, the club wrote: 'He is an experienced midfielder who is dominant in the air.

'He has quality in front of goal, timing his runs from deep to perfection. He is a prestigious signing for the Yellow Submarine.'

He posed with his new shirt and will have his eye on being involved when Villarreal face Espanyol in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night.
