Leicester City Signs Harry Souttar from Stoke City
A Significant Signing for the Foxes
Leicester City Strengthens Defense with New Acquisition
Premier League club Leicester City has made a significant addition to its squad, signing Australian defender Harry Souttar from Stoke City for a reported fee of £15 million. The 6-foot-4 center-back is a welcome boost to Leicester's defense, which has been plagued by injuries this season.
Souttar, 23, has impressed with his performances for both Stoke City and the Australian national team. He was part of the Socceroos squad that reached the Round of 16 at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where he played a key role in their clean sheet against Denmark.
Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers is delighted with the signing of Souttar. "Harry is a fantastic talent and we are very happy to have him join our squad," Rodgers said. "He is a commanding defender who is strong in the air, good on the ball, and has a great mentality. We believe he has the potential to be a top player for us."
Souttar is expected to make his debut for Leicester City in the coming weeks. The Foxes are currently 14th in the Premier League standings, but they will hope that Souttar can help them improve their defensive record and push for a higher finish this season.
