Leicester City have completed the signing of Atalanta defender Caleb Okoli on a five-year contract.

The 22-year-old centre-back, capped by Italy at under-21 level, made 17 appearances for Atalanta after coming through the club's academy.

Okoli spent last season on loan at Frosinone, featuring in 34 of the club's Serie A matches as they were relegated from the top flight.

"I think it was the right moment to make a different step forward and a very big one," Okoli told club media.

"I'm very happy with the choice I made, so I'm very excited to start in the Premier League.
