Former Nigeria U17 international Habib Makanjuola claims his transfer to Leicester City is now in the bag.

The flamboyant midfielder took to social media to announce he was offered a contract by The Foxes following a successful trial.

Makanjuola wrote : ''Very Happy to have signed for Leicester city FC massive thank you to everyone who have been supporting me through out the journey 🙏. ⚽️💙 strive for more''.

The 18-year-old departed Chelsea without earning a scholarship deal and had tried his luck with Birmingham City, but nothing came out of it.

Makanjuola will need a work permit before he is allowed to play in England, and Leicester City are yet to announce the signing of the talented youngster.
