Leicester City have completed the signing of winger Cengiz Under on a season-long loan from Roma.
It is reported Brendan Rodgers team have paid an initial £2.7million loan fee and hold an option to buy the Turkey international for around £22m.
Under has spent three years with Roma after joining them in 2017 from Istanbul Basaksehir, though he only started 42 Serie A games over that period.
I can t wait to go to Leicester and start training, Under told his new club s website.
I ve always wanted to play in England and this is a great opportunity to play in the Premier League.
I will try to help my team-mates on the pitch and off the pitch and I believe that I can improve my performance every day. I think I am fast and can create lots of chances for my colleagues.
I feel very good because my best friend plays for Leicester City. I am very happy to be able to play with [Turkey team-mate] Caglar [Soyuncu] and I always watched Leicester s games because of him.

Rodgers had discussed the impending arrival of Under on Friday, stating his belief the 23-year-old will offer something different due to his creativity.
He s a very good player, Rodgers said. We need a different type of attacking player. Having watched him, he s clearly a talented player.
We have pace and power at the top end, but we also need some more football in there.
We need someone who can beat someone in a one-v-one, we need someone who can break down defences who are organised, when it s tight.
Leicester beat West Brom in their opening Premier League match of the new season and host Burnley on Sunday looking to make it two wins from two.
