HOBBS SEALS LEICESTER LOAN DEAL

Hobbs - joins Leicester on loan.

Leicester have signed Liverpool defender Jack Hobbs on loan.

The 19-year-old is highly regarded at Anfield and has also won international honours with England's Under 19 side.

Hobbs spent the second half of last season on-loan at Scunthorpe and will now spend the whole of next term with League One Leicester.

Foxes boss Nigel Pearson has overseen a busy summer of reshaping his squad at the Walkers Stadium, with his latest addition eager to help the club back to the Championship at the first attempt.

"I am really pleased to have signed and can't wait to get started," Hobbs told the club's official website.

"This is a massive club with a good manager and top class Premier League facilities.

"Liverpool have some world class centre-backs so I spoke to the boss and he said I was free to go out on loan and gain some experience.

"I now want to start playing and get to know the lads. I can assure everyone that I will give 100 per cent."
