Having failed to secure a contract during a trial with Wolves in late 2003, Kaebi is all the more determined to do well at Leicester after signing a two-year deal with the Foxes on Tuesday.

And the 21-year-old feels that being able to speak English fluently will help him to adapt quickly to life at his new club.

"I am determined to do well at Leicester and one of the important things for me to do when I join the club is to learn to speak English," said Kaebi, speaking though an interpreter.

"I am getting an English teacher and the coach (Martin Allen) will also give me a helping hand. Hopefully, I will be able to speak it well enough after three months there.

"I also had other offers from clubs in Portugal and Germany but I felt that the deal offered to me at Leicester had the best terms.

"I have played with a lot of good teams but this will be a big challenge to play in England and I have a lot of motivation to do well there."
