The former Olympique Marseille striker is now joining his fourth club in the Premier League, having featured for Aston Villa, Swansea City and Crystal Palace. He was the Player of the Season at Palace in the 2019/20 campaign.
However, under new manager Oliver Glasner, the versatile forward seems to have lost his place in the first team, forcing him to switch camps.
He will reunite with compatriot Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, who also sealed a permanent move to Leicester in the summer transfer window, as reported by 3 News.

The Ghanaian forward expressed delight after completing the move, stating he is ready to give his all for the manager, who played a huge role in his move.
He told the club's website: “I’m very happy to be here and I’m proud. I want to thank the Club as they fought hard to bring me here – it happened quickly and I’m so happy to be here.
“As a player, when you hear that the manager wants you, it just makes you want to come and work under him and to try to improve. Even though I’m 32, as a player you always want to learn and improve. I’m here to work hard and help the team achieve their targets.”
