Leicester City have swooped to sign Swedish international defender Nils-Eric Johansson from Blackburn.
The 25-year-old, who can play at either centre-half or left-back, has signed a two-year deal at the Walkers Stadium having joined on a free transfer.
"Leicester made their interest known early on this summer so I came and had a look and was impressed," he said.
"The whole place is built for the Premier League and it is our job now to put the club back where they belong."
