Leicester bolster squad by signing former Manchester United keeper

Leicester City have announced the signing of goalkeeper Robert Zieler from Bundesliga side Hannover 96 for an undisclosed fee.

The 27-year-old has penned a four-year deal with the Premier League champions and is expected to provide competition to the club’s first-choice goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

“It feels great coming to Leicester and joining the club after they’ve had such a great season,” said Zieler.

“I’ve been shown around the training ground and it looks very good and I’ve been to the stadium – I heard about the great atmosphere and the great fans, so my first impression is very good.
