Leicester City have signed French winger Dany N'Guessan from Lincoln City on a three-year deal.

Lincoln are set to receive around £400,000 for the services of the 21-year Frenchman who scored nine goals in 49 games for the Imps.

"Dany is an extremely exciting prospect," said Leicester manager Nigel Pearson.

"He impressed us during our home game against Lincoln in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy last season and he is a versatile and talented player.

"He is an attacking player by nature. He can play on the left, right or up front, or even just behind the strikers.

"We are certain that the addition of Dany will heighten competition for places and he has the potential to improve."
