Leicester City have completed the loan signing of Udinese defender Molla Wague on loan for the remainder of the season, with an option to buy him in the summer.
Sky sources indicate that the transfer has been complicated for Leicester, with the Foxes having to deal with two clubs.
In the end, Leicester agreed to loan Wague from Udinese, even though the Italian club had him on a long-term loan from Spanish side Granada.
In effect, the Foxes had to negotiate separate deals with Granada and Udinese to get the deal over the line.
Sky sources reported on Monday night that the two clubs were in talks over a deal for the Mali defender, with the Foxes keen to strengthen in defence this month.
Wague has been part of Mali's squad at the Africa Cup of Nations, where they were knockout at the group stage.
He joined Udinese from French Ligue 1 club Caen in 2014 and has made 37 appearances for the Italian club.
However, Wague has played only five times in Serie A this season - one less than he has played for Mali in the same period.
The Foxes have so far signed Wilfred Ndidi from Belgium club Genk this month, and have angered Leonardo Ulloa by denying him a move away from the King Power Stadium.
