Leicester City has added Aleksandar Dragovic to its defensive stocks after signing the Austria international on a season-long loan from Bayer Leverkusen.

The defender, who previously linked with Manchester United, will join his new Premier League team-mates at King Power Stadium after the international break, with the Foxes announcing the deal late on transfer deadline day.

Dragovic moved to Leverkusen from Ukrainian giant Dynamo Kiev in 2016-2017 and made 19 Bundesliga appearances last term.

The 26-year-old, who has 54 international caps, also played in Leverkusen's season-opening 3-1 loss at defending champion Bayern Munich, where he was a second-half substitute.

Dragovic will now vie with fellow transfer-window recruit Harry Maguire, Wes Morgan, Robert Huth and Yohan Benalouane for a spot in Craig Shakespeare's starting XI.
