Leicester have announced they will sign defender Luis Hernandez on a free transfer from Sporting Gijon.

The 27-year-old will join the Premier League champions on a four-year deal when his contract with the La Liga side expires at the end of the month.

Hernandez becomes the Foxes' first summer signing as they prepare for the Champions League next season, while they are also chasing Watford striker Troy Deeney.
