Boss Claudio Ranieri has been chasing a new midfielder after failing to persuade Esteban Cambiasso to stay at the King Power Stadium after his contract expired this summer and he signed for Olympiakos this month.

After starting his career with Basel, Inler joined FC Aarau, before making a move to Udinese in 2007 where he sprung to prominence.
“The manager was also important in my thinking”.
“I put the ice on their heads to keep them cool so we maintain a low profile”, the Italian said.
“I’m very happy to be here because it has taken a long time to discuss (the transfer)”, he said.
Gokhan Inler says he listened to his heart before choosing to join Leicester City over the “many teams” that wanted to sign him. I had a good preparation in pre-season and now I’m ready to give everything for this club.
Meanwhile, the Spurs have not recorded their first victory yet in the ongoing season as they lost to Manchester United in their opener and settled for a 2-2 draw against Stoke City FC during their second game.
“But I came here and this team, with this staff, won the Championship, saved their place in the Premier League and finished with a fantastic final rush, winning six of the last eight games”.
Subject to his registration being confirmed in time, Inler will be available to make his debut against Tottenham this Saturday.
“I feel this is like a family”.

“I think in Italy everybody speaks about the tactics”. For example, I’m not used to giving one day off after the match. “I’m in the best league in the world and I’m happy”.
