Leicester City have completed the loan signing of Aleksander Dragovic on a season's long loan from Bayer Leverkusen.
The Foxes have been pursuing the central defender for over a year and have now secured his services for the remainder of the campaign after he had a medical while on international duty with Austria.
Leicester failed with a bid for Arsenal's Calum Chambers earlier on Deadline Day but the addition of Dragovic will give manager Craig Shakespeare another defensive option.
Formerly with Austria Vienna, FC Basel and Dynamo Kiev, Dragovic has been capped 54 times by Austria.
The Leicester website reported: "A commanding and imposing authority in central defence, Dragovic has steadily built a reputation as a tough-tackling defender across several European and international competitions."
