The fact they probably delay many announcements by hours to make these shite videos is absurd.

It's a world removed from stuff like the manager and the new arrival holding a shirt. 

 

They used to tell us the transfer fees too.

 

Jumpers for goalposts etc.

Leicester City Confirm Souttar Signing From Stoke City

 

Leicester City Football Club is pleased to confirm the signing of central defender Harry Souttar from Stoke City, subject to Premier League approval.

- Leicester City sign Australia international Harry Souttar from Stoke City 
- The defender recently represented his country at the 2022 FIFA World Cup
- He has agreed a five-and-a-half-year deal at King Power Stadium

 

The 24-year-old, who played four times and was a standout performer for Australia at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, joins the Foxes on a contract to the summer of 2028.

He has made 70 appearances for the Potters in all competitions since moving to Staffordshire from Dundee United in 2016.

He said: “I’m delighted to join such a great Football Club and challenging myself in the Premier League is an opportunity that I couldn’t turn down. There are world-class facilities here and a squad full of fantastic players, so I can’t wait to get started.”

Born in Aberdeen, Souttar began his career with Dundee United and made his senior debut for the club against Partick Thistle in May 2016.

He moved to the Potteries later that summer, signing a three-year-deal and making his Stoke bow in an EFL Cup win over Rochdale in August 2017.

The defender later returned north, joining Scottish Championship side Ross County on loan for the remainder of the 2017/18 campaign.

His development continued the following year as he moved to Fleetwood Town on loan in January 2019 before re-joining the club and extending his stay at Highbury for the 2019/20 season.

The following campaign quickly saw him establish himself as a key member of the Stoke City team, while impressing as one of the Championship’s most talented defenders.

Since returning from the 2022 FIFA World Cup last month, where he received significant praise for his performances, Souttar has been a mainstay for the Potters, playing on six occasions.  

He has 13 international caps to his name with Australia since his debut against Nepal in 2019 – a game that saw him score twice, with five of six international goals coming in his first three appearances.

Alongside his impressive displays at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Souttar has also represented the Socceroos at the Tokyo Olympics in the summer of 2020.

He will now join up with his new teammates ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash at Aston Villa (3pm GMT kick-off).

70 appearances in 7 years for stoke??

Will fit in well.

Don’t know a lot about him but hopefully as well as ability he and Kristiansen have character, are vocal and not passive and meek, leaders with the common sense to hack down an opponent on the half way line and take a card like everyone else seems to do to us whereas we just jog backwards admiring their footwork before a shot is bent around the defender into the top corner.

Leicester deal sheet:

 

All agreed and signed, we just need another couple of hours to get the right lighting for a back of the ****ing knee video shot. It'll be worth it I tell ya. You owe us after that 14 second bollocks. 

 

FA: OK just this once but don't let us down.

 

..... LCFC VIDEO REVEAL...... 

 

FA: Oh **** off and get relegated you ****ing idiots.
