Leicester City have added Nigerian goalkeeper, Chituru Odunze, to their ranks.
The player was signed from Major League Soccer side, Vancouver Whitecaps.
The 16-year-old was offered a contract by the Foxes after training with them for two weeks.

Announcing his move to Leicester City, Odunze told the club’s official website, ”It’s a dream come true to take the next step in my career at a big club like Leicester City FC.
”I’m really grateful for everything that Vancouver Whitecaps FC have done for me. I would like to thank the coaches, staff, and my teammates for how they have helped me grow as a player, and especially Raegyn Hall and Jordan Santiago for coaching me as a goalkeeper.”
Odunze is eligible to represent the national teams of Nigeria, United States, England and Canada.
