"Leicester City" officially confirmed that they have completed negotiations with "Nice" for the acquisition of defensive midfielder Nampalys Mendy. The football player arrived in Leicester and signed a four-year contract.
The 24-year-old footballer is a player of a very similar style to N'Golo Kante. It is believed that this acquisition was aimed at replacing the French national team's safety, as N. Kante is close to transferring to "Real" Madrid.
N. Mendy played for "Nice" club since 2013. Last season, he played 40 matches, scored a goal, provided two assists, and helped the team finish fourth in the "Ligue 1" championship.
"I am very happy to have arrived at "Leicester City," - the Frenchman said his first words in the new club. - This team had a fantastic season and I am glad to be here."
N. Mendy became the third acquisition of "Leicester City" during the offseason. Earlier, the English champions announced the signings of goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler and defender Luis Hernandez.
