Leicester City have completed the £13million signing of Croatian international Filip Benkovic from Dinamo Zagreb.

The 21-year-old becomes Claude Puel’s sixth signing of the summer and arrives at the King Power Stadium on a five-year deal.

Benkovic, a 6ft 4in Croatian under-21 international, had been targeted by Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan this window following impressive performances for his boyhood club.

Coming through the ranks at Dinamo Zagreb, Benkovic made his debut in 2015 as an 18-year-old and has since played more than 70 games for the club, including 13 in the Champions League.

Last season, Benkovic played 30 games in all competitions, scoring four goals, as Dinamo Zagreb won the league and cup double.

This is the first of two potential centre-back signings on transfer deadline day with City also keen to land Turkey international Caglar Soyuncu.

City are keen to stress the arrival of Benkovic and the potential signing of Soyuncu will have no impact on the future of Harry Maguire.

Manchester United are said to be keen to land the England centre-half, with two bids already reported to have been rejected.

Despite further media claims that Maguire is ‘hopeful’ of moving to Old Trafford, City are adamant that their star defender is not for sale.
