Foxes swoop for United duo
Leicester City have moved to sign the Manchester United duo of Ritchie de Laet and Matty James. The Foxes announced the dual swoop and also added that the two players had put pen to paper three year contracts at the King Power Stadium.
Belgian defender De Laet has had loan stints with the likes of Norwich City, Sheffield United, Preston North End and Portsmouth.
Midfielder James, who has captained England at U-19 level, has been troubled by injury during his time at Old Trafford. He, like De Laet, has also spent time on loan at Preston North End.
Leicester are aiming for promotion from the Championship in the forthcoming 2012-2013 season.
