London, July 1 (BNA): Leicester City Football Club announced today, Saturday, the signing of defender Connor Coady and midfielder Harry Winks, as the two international players in England signed a three-year contract.
Cody signed from Wolverhampton Wanderers although the experienced 30-year-old spent last season on loan at Everton, reports Reuters.
Winks, 27, arrives from Tottenham Hotspur, where he played more than 200 matches with the London club, but spent last season on loan in Sampdoria, Italy.
Cody played for England last year and made the World Cup squad but did not participate in the European Championship qualifiers, while Winks has not played for his country since 2020.
Leicester were Premier League champions in the 2015-2016 season, but were relegated at the end of last season after finishing 18th. They last played in the Championship in the 2013-14 season when they won the title to gain promotion.
The club appointed Enzo Maresca as its new coach last month after the Italian left his role as assistant coach under Pep Guardiola at treble-winning Manchester City.
But the club’s biggest assets were precious, with England midfielder James Maddison moving to Tottenham Hotspur in a £40m ($51m) deal while Aston Villa signed Youri Tielemans on a free charge.
