The Telegraph are reporting that Shakhtar winger, Tete has a medical booked on Saturday ahead of a loan to Leicester City.
According to The Telegraph, Tete has already booked his medical for Saturday and the deal should be completed before the end of the weekend.
The loan move will provide a boost for Leicester City, who are currently pushing for a Champions League spot. Tete will add more depth to the squad and will provide competition for places on the wing.
It had been reported that Leeds United were in talks to do a deal for Tete, but it looks like Leicester have beaten the Whites here.
The Brazilian winger had been on loan at Lyon, but the French club agreed to let him leave if he found himself another club. Tete has been in good form this season, scoring six goals and providing two assists in Ligue 1 this term.
The ‘special’ winger is known for his pace and skill on the ball and he’s expected to bring a lot of excitement to the Leicester City attack.
Leicester City have been struggling in the attack this season and are desperate to add more firepower to the team. Tete is just the kind of player they’re looking for, a speedy, direct and tricky player, he should complement Harvey Barnes and Jamie Vardy very well in the Leicester attack.
It will be interesting to see how Tete adapts to the Premier League and how he fits into the Leicester City team. The Brazilian winger is a player with a lot of potential and he’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser at the King Power Stadium.
Leeds have missed out here, and this could be a deal they regret not doing as Tete has the chance to become a Premier League star with the Foxes.
