Leicester City Football Club are delighted to announce that Spanish defender Luis Hernandez will join on a four-year deal, starting on 1 July, 2016.

The 27-year-old will join the Premier League champions on a free transfer after his contract with La Liga outfit Sporting Gijon expires.

The central defender is a product of the Real Madrid youth academy, having represented the club’s B and C sides before a move to Sporting Gijon in 2012, where he soon established himself as a starter.

Nice. Always like a freebee and not a bad age for a free either. Don't know much about him really but defence does need bolstering.

A relatively experienced signing in a position that we definitely needed cover for. Good stuff.

In Walsh we trust.

 

[SwedeFox]

Good stuff. Get Mendy in as well and this will be a good day

Edit:
From the Mercury:
He made 140 interceptions last season - more than any other player in La Liga.

I do like that stat. I read something similar about Kanté and that turned out alright. I guess we don't make YouTube signings like Kaebi anymore

Ssshhhhhhhhhhh!

Jinxing was scientifically disproved last season!

 

[Miles Away]

NOT A WALSH SIGNING. PANIC.

The men who won more interceptions in the Premier League and La Liga last season now both play for Leicester City.

Umm, who?

Umm, who?

Hernàndez and Kanté

Hernàndez and Kanté

+ Mendy.

 

[Blaarev]

+ Mendy.

He didn't play in the Premier League or La Liga last season.

A FREE will help offset the blackmail money Watford are holding out for. I have never before seen a club add on the sell-on fee to a previous club.

Usually a sell-on fee is because the buying club is getting a bit of a bargain. Robbing dogs

 

[Mawsley]

Hang on, I thought we only signed people out of the blue or ones we'd been tracking for years?

I'm beginning to think no one knows who we are going to sign.

 

[Borderfox]

That's cheating!

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Nice.

Gotta catch em all
