Leicester have confirmed the signing of striker Stephy Mavididi on a five-year deal from French club Montpellier.

The 25-year-old, who has joined the Foxes for an undisclosed fee, came through the Arsenal youth system and has previously played on loan at Charlton and Preston.

Mavididi, who was born in Derby, told Leicester's official website: "I'm honestly happy and delighted to be here.

"Speaking to the manager and some of the staff here, it was a no-brainer for me. It was one that was in the pipeline for a while and myself and my family are just happy that it is over the line now.

"Obviously the size and history of the club speaks for itself. The training ground, the stadium. Personally, I wanted to come back to England, I felt like it was time to come home and continue my football here."

Brighton goalkeeper Carl Rushworth has joined Swansea on loan for the 2023-24 season as well as signing a new four-year deal with the Premier League side.

The 22-year-old was a part of the England Under-21 squad as they were crowned European champions this summer after making his debut for the side in June, a 2-0 defeat against Japan.

He becomes Swansea's fifth first-team signing since Michael Duff replaced Russell Martin as manager of the Championship side in June.

He kept 20 clean sheets in 46 games on loan at Lincoln in League One last season, having previously had spells playing for Walsall - where he won the players' player and supporters' young player of the season awards - and Worthing.
