Bayer Leverkusen have completed the signing of defender Aleksandar Dragovic from Dynamo Kiev on a five-year contract.

Austria international Dragovic had been heavily linked with a potential move to Premier League champions Leicester City but has opted for Germany.

'Kiev was the right and important club for me but now I'm attracted to the Bundesliga as one of the best leagues in the world,' Dragovic told the club's website.
