Leicester have confirmed they will sign Spanish striker Raul Uche Rubio from Rayo Vallecano for an undisclosed fee on July 1.

The 18-year-old has agreed a four-year contract with the Premier League champions and becomes manager Claudio Ranieri's third signing of the summer following the arrivals of goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler and defender Luis Hernandez.

He follows Hernandez in joining from Vallecano and will be part of the Foxes' development squad during pre-season. 

"I like the Premier League. Leicester fits the profile, they are hard-working," Uche is quoted as saying to Spanish newspaper AS
