Rodgers wraps up Justin deal
Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has strengthened his defensive options by agreeing terms with Luton Town for the transfer of James Justin.
The 21-year-old right-back, who will be Rodgers' first capture of the summer, has signed a five-year contract with the Foxes.
Justin featured in 52 games in all competitions for the Hatters last season as they secured promotion from League One.
He said: "I'm over the moon. I feel like I'm ready for this moment. I hope to bring a lot of energy and commitment to the badge.
"The manager is great with the younger players and developing them through their careers. Everyone speaks very highly of him and I hope he can help me too."
Justin made his debut for Luton against Exeter City in May 2016 and featured in 39 matches for the club in all competitions in 2016/17 before appearing in 22 games the following season.
He added: "It's been pretty hectic, to be honest. I've just been trying to keep concentrated and do my off-season training and focus on doing that before I was thinking about anything else."
Leicester are 13/10 to beat Wolves on the opening weekend of the season on 10th August while they can be backed at 11/2 to finish in the top six of the Premier League table in 2019/20.
