Leicester complete signing of Premier League winger for cheap five-figure fee Leicester City have completed the signing of Ipswich Town winger Wes Burns, who has signed a three-year contract. Burns helped the Tractor Boys to a second promotion in three years last season, but he's now joined the Foxes in League One. And talkSPORT understands that the deal for the 31-year-old has been done for just £75,000. Speaking after his arrival was confirmed, Burns said: “I’m delighted to be here and get it all sorted. "Having spoken to the manager and various people I know here, there’s a massive ambition to get the club back to where it once was, so I’m excited about the project. “I want to bring a lot of excitement for the fans, along with plenty of goals and assists. I’m direct and an old-school type winger who likes to take on his defenders and put crosses into the box.” Burns is not expected to be the only new addition for Leicester in the coming days, with Admir Bristric also set to join. The 23-year-old striker currently plays for Olimpija Ljubljana after returning from his loan spell with fellow Slovenian side Bravo. The forward is a former Bosnian Under-21 international with six goals in 14 appearances. He scored 13 goals last year and strengthens a position that Leicester desperately needed bodies. After the arrival of Conor Chaplin, once Bristric signs, Leicester will have two strikers in their squad. Meanwhile, Burns has become just the third senior winger in the team as the Foxes look to bounce back from two consecutive relegations. The Welsh international is a League One veteran, having made 260 appearances in England's third tier. In that time, he has 43 goals and 34 assists, adding some much-needed experience and goals to this Leicester side. Leicester transfers so far After relegation to League One, there has been a huge swathe of changes to the Foxes squad. Abdul Fatawu has left to join Ipswich in a deal worth around £20million. Manchester City beat Arsenal to the signature of talented teenager Jeremy Monga in a £12.5million deal. And Bilal El Khannouss has completed a permanent switch to Stuttgart. Victor Kristiansen has departed on loan, while Patson Daka has joined Hamburg on a free after his contract expired. Harry Winks also left for an undisclosed fee. Ricardo Pereira, Asmir Begovic, Jamaal Lascelles, Jordan Ayew and Jannik Vestergaard have all left too. In their place, Leicester haven't spent a lot. But they've managed to convince striker Chaplin to drop down from the Premier League to League One. Experienced goalkeeper Alex McCarthy has arrived on a free from Southampton, with Brighton youngster Tommy Watson signing on loan too. Liam Cullen has left the Championship and Swansea City to play for Russell Martin again, having worked together while in Wales. Wout Faes and Woyo Coulibaly are also back from their respective loans.
