Leicester sign Carranza, James and Ramsey on loan

Julian Carranza is a former Argentina Under-23 international

Leicester City have signed Feyenoord striker Julian Carranza and midfielders Jordan James from Rennes and Aaron Ramsey from Burnley on season-long loans.

Argentine 25-year-old Carranza scored five goals in 30 appearances for the Dutch club last season after joining from US Major League Soccer side Philadelphia Union.

Carranza, who also previously played for Inter Miami in the United States, has not featured for the Eredivisie club this term.

He became the first outfield player signed by the Foxes since their relegation from the Premier League and joins a club that lost legendary forward Jamie Vardy on their return to the Championship.

Carranza said he is "excited" to make the switch to Leicester in England's second tier despite featuring for Feyenoord in the Champions League and helping them finish third in the Dutch top flight last term.

Meanwhile, 21-year-old Wales international James returns to the English Football League on loan after leaving Birmingham City for French side Rennes in August 2024.

He made 23 top flight appearances last season but has not featured for them this term.

Ramsey, 22, missed the majority of last season because of a knee injury but scored in his first appearance at Turf Moor for 18 months when he helped the Premier League club to victory against Derby County in the EFL Cup last month.
