Leicester sign forward Riis from Bristol City

Riis has agreed a four-year deal at the King Power Stadium and told the club website, external: "It's a massive club with a very exciting project.

"I've played a lot of games in England so I hope I can bring experience to the team. I want to help the young lads we have and push them in the right direction."

Leicester have not won any of their first three games in League One following their relegation from the Championship last season, and face Plymouth at home on Tuesday evening.

Bristol City sporting director James Ellis said Riis deserved the chance to "play regularly at a club looking to get back into the Championship".

He added, external: "As I have mentioned before, there are tough decisions to be made as we build the squad and, with the new attacking additions we have, we feel this is the right move for Emil and the club."
