Leicester City have signed Belgium defender Wout Faes (24) from French club Stade de Reims on a five-year-deal, subject to international clearance, the Premier League club announced on Thursday's transfer deadline day.
Faes, who was named Reims' player of the season for 2021-22, will join Leicester as a replacement for Wesley Fofana (21), who moved to Chelsea this week.
The defender made his debut for Belgium in the Nations League in June this year.
Faes is Leicester's second summer signing after they signed Alex Smithies as a backup goalkeeper on a free transfer.
