Leicester City have signed Stoke City defender Harry Souttar, who played for Australia at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, on a five-and-a-half-year deal.

"There are world-class facilities here and a squad full of fantastic players, so I can't wait to get started."
The 24-year-old joined Stoke in 2016 from Scottish Premiership side Dundee United.
