Leicester City have confirmed their record signing Andrej Kramaric has signed for Hoffenheim on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee.

The Croatia international striker joined the Bundesliga side on a temporary basis in January but has now signed a deal that will keep him at the club until June 2020.

Kramaric scored four goals in 20 appearances for the Foxes in all competitions after joining them from Rijeka for £9m in January 2015.

The 24-year-old scored five goals in 15 appearances during his loan spell in the second half of the 2015-16 season for Hoffenheim.
