Ghana defender John Pantsil has joined English Championship side Leicester City, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.<\/p>\n
The right-back signed a three-year contract with the club on Thursday afternoon after passing a medical.<\/p>\n
Pantsil moves to the ambitious club on a free transfer after being released by Premier League side Fulham at the end of last season.<\/p>\n
Leicester, who have high-profile coach Sven Goran Ericksson in charge, are determined to move the club to the top-flight.<\/p>\n
Pantsil says he is delighted to join the club to help in their chase for promotion.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have just signed a three-year contract with Leicester City,\u201d Pantsil told GHANAsoccernet.com exclusively.<\/p>\n
\u201cI visited the club yesterday, met the coach and some of the club officials and I am very happy with what I saw.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe club has got a lot of ambition to succeed at the high level with their fantastic fans and that is why I chose to join them despite some other offers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fact that they have coach Eriksson also says a lot about the ambitions of the club and I am obviously delighted to join in this noble cause<\/p>\n
\u201cI see this as the biggest challenge of my career so far and together with my new team-mates we will fight to make Leicester City climb to the top.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pantsil was out-of-contract with Fulham and Eriksson pounced on the free agent to boost the Foxes squad ahead of the new season.<\/p>\n
Pantsil, capped 66 times by Ghana, fell out of favour at Craven Cottage under Mark Hughes last season and he wasn\u2019t offered a new deal to stay at the club beyond this summer.<\/p>\n
The experienced defender arrived in England in 2006 at West Ham United before making the switch to Fulham.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
