Leicester City's owners have transferred the ownership of the club from Asia Football Investments (AFI) to King Power International (KPI).

There has been no change in the board or management structure.

Vice-chairman Aiyawatt Raksriaksorn said: "This is part of our plan deliver long-term, sustainable success."

The takeover has been fully approved by the Football League.

Foxes vice-chairman Aiyawatt Raksriaksorn said bringing Leicester under the direct ownership of King Power International underlined their long-term commitment.

"It will be established as a core part of the group's overall interests," he said.

"The last two years have been an incredible experience and we firmly believe we have the key elements in place, both on and off the pitch, to take Leicester City back to the Premier League."
