James Justin has been signed by Leeds for a fee of £10 million.
The full-back joins Elland Road for a four-year deal, becoming the club’s tenth summer signing.
Leicester will pay the 27-year-old £8 million in additions, with an additional £2 million.
With Leeds hosting Newcastle in their next Premier League game on Saturday, Justin is not expected to be available for Sheffield Wednesday’s second-round encounter with the Carabao Cup.
Justin joined the Foxes in 2019 after beginning his career at Luton Town, where he has made 169 starts. The right-back can also play left-back.
I’m over the moon to have joined a club of this size and history, and returning to the Premier League was a huge accomplishment for me, James said.
“The atmosphere in the stadium is unquestionably one of the best in world football.”
I’m happy that the fans are supporting me this time because it’s always a challenging task to be an opposing team.
Before the summer transfer window closes, Leeds are eager to strengthen their squad, and they last week signed AC Milan forward Noah Okafor for £18 million.
Other recent additions to their roster include Udinese’s Jaka Bijol, England’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin, midfielders Anton Stach and Sean Longstaff, Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Perri, and Swedish left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson. After playing for Wolfsburg last year, center-back Sebastiaan Bornauw and forward Lukas Nmecha were both hired.
