Leicester agree Harry Maguire deal: Hull will receive £12m up front
Harry Maguire will become Craig Shakespeare's first big-money signing as a manager
The Foxes hope to announce Maguire’s arrival before the weekend after having a £10m rejected for West Brom’s Jonny Evans.
Shakespeare has made signing a central defender a major priority this summer with regular centre-backs Wes Morgan and Robert Huth both ageing.
The club attempted to land Northern Ireland international Evans from The Hawthorns but the Baggies insist only a big-money bid would have a chance of landing the 29-year-old.
Leicester then turned their attention to Maguire and will pay £12m up front with a potential £5m in add-ons.
