Former Arsenal academy star Stephy Mavididi undergoes Leicester City medical ahead of £6.9million move from Montpellier

Leicester City are signing Stephy Mavididi from Montpellier for £6.9million after he underwent a medical on Saturday.

Mavididi, 25, left Arsenal for Juventus before joining Montpellier where he scored 21 goals in 89 games.

The forward will be hoping to help the Foxes make an immediate return to the Premier League after their relegation last time out.

Beginning his career in Arsenal's academy, Mavididi was highly rated coming through the ranks before earning a move to Turin.

However, he was unable to break into the first team squad at Juventus and only made one Serie A appearance before moving to Dijon on loan before securing a permanent move to Montpellier in 2020.
