Leicester City Agree Deal For Spanish Youngster Uche

Leicester City will sign young Spanish striker Raul Uche Rubio from Rayo Vallecano on a four-year deal from 1 July, 2016 for an undisclosed fee.

The Foxes beat off competition from a host of teams for the 18-year-old, who will join his new team-mates from the Club’s Academy setup once pre-season training begins again next month.

Uche will become the second Spanish addition made by the Club this summer, with centre back Luis Hernandez also set to arrive to bolster City’s defensive ranks ahead of the 2016/17 campaign.

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

“I think I will adapt well. My style of play is more like English than Spanish football. I have a more physical game.”
