Leicester City make Maguire move

Transfers

Central defender is club’s first summer signing for undisclosed fee from Hull City

Leicester City have announced the signing of Harry Maguire from Hull City.

The central defender has agreed a five-year deal, joining for an undisclosed fee after Hull’s relegation from the Premier League in 2016/17.

"Once I had my eyes on this club, I always wanted to join," Maguire told lcfc.com. "Thankfully I’m here so I can’t wait to get the season started and kick on."

The 24-year-old made 29 PL appearances last season and scored two goals.

Maguire becomes Craig Shakespeare's first transfer since the new permanent manager signed a three-year contract last week.

Maguire could play his first match for Leicester in the Premier League Asia Trophy on 19 July against West Bromwich Albion in Hong Kong.
