Marc Albrighton to join Leicester City

Marc Albrighton will make a move to newly promoted Leicester City from Aston Villa. The midfielder will be Leicester's first signing of the summer in preparation for their return to England's top flight.

The 24-year-old played on loan at Wigan last season and had been sitting down with Villa representatives and discussing a new deal. After failing to reach an agreement, Albrighton was then told that he would be free to leave Villa Park for a move elsewhere.

The former England under-21 international will sign a four year contract at the Walkers Stadium.
