English Premier League champions Leicester City have signed Germany goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler on a four-year deal from Bundesliga side Hannover 96 for an undisclosed fee, the Midlands club said on Friday.

Zieler, 27, one of two back-up keepers to Manuel Neuer in the Germany squad that won the 2014 World Cup, will compete for a place in Leicester's starting side with current Foxes number one Kasper Schmeichel.

"It feels great coming to Leicester and joining the club after they've had such a great season -- it's really nice to be part of the club now," Zieler told Foxes Player HD after signing a contract set to keep him at the King Power Stadium until 2020.
