Leicester City have confirmed they have completed the signing of Croatian striker Andrej Kramaric, who will wear the No.40 shirt at the King Power Stadium.
Last month ItisaGoal revealed that Kramaric was set to become Jose Mourinho's first acquisition of the January transfer window but talks between Chelsea and Rijeka stalled and ultimately fell down on the valuation of the player.

The Blues also failed to provide assurances to Kramaric that his long-term future lay at Stamford Bridge - he was set to join Vitesse on loan for the rest of the current campaign.
Leicester then agreed a £7m deal with the Croatian side for the 23-year-old, who has scored 21 goals in 18 league matches this season and Nigel Pearson says he is delighted to have signed the youngster.
"We've watched Andrej for a long time so we knew we were signing a player that could add great quality to English football and I'm delighted that the relevant authorities have seen the situation the same way," he told the club's official website.
"He's an extremely talented young footballer and I'm delighted we've been able to finalise his signing. He is potentially a very important addition for us."
Kramaric could make his Premier League debut on Saturday as the Foxes host Stoke City.
