Kramaric has completed a medical and will sign a three-and-a-half year contract with the Foxes, subject to a work permit being granted for the striker.

This is quite a coup for Leicester considering the Blues had been strongly linked with the 23-year-old themselves and manager Nigel Pearson is clearly delighted to have landed the Croatian.

Kramaric will now be tasked with trying to keep Pearson’s men in the Premier League as they are among the favourites to get relegated this season.
