Leicester have agreed terms for the signature of defender Ricardo Pereira from Porto on a five-year contract, subject to international clearance.”I feel very happy to be here and I can’t wait to do my best to help the team,” Pereira told. “The atmosphere, the fans and the football of the Premier League makes it the best in the world. I am here to support the team and to help the club to achieve its goals,” he added.
“I’m delighted to have a player of Ricardo’s quality on board for next season,” his boss Puel said. “I remember him well from my time at Nice,” he added. Pereira and new team-mate Adrien Silva both will be part of Fernando Santos’ Portugal squad. They are aiming to secure a second consecutive major tournament victory after their Euro 2016 title in France.
