Leicester City have announced the signing of Zambia striker Patson Daka from RB Salzburg for around £23m, a club official statement reads.

Patson Daka’s numbers are so amazing that you wonder why most teams weren’t in for him earlier on.

Leicester need a replacement for the ageing Jamie Vardy and the underwhelming Ayoze Perez who might be moved on as Daka arrives.

Daka will be unveiled on Friday as Leicester’s second high profile signing of the season.

Earlier on in the window, Boubacar Soumare joined from Lille and Leicester are looking like a formidable side heading into the new season.
