Tete: Leicester City sign Shakhtar Donetsk winger until June as Lyon loan ends

Leicester City have signed Brazilian winger Tete from Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk until June.

The 22-year-old had been on loan at French side Lyon since March 2022 following the suspension of his contract with Shakhtar.

World governing body Fifa ruled foreign players in Ukraine could suspend their contracts until 30 June 2023 following Russia's invasion of the country.

Leicester say the forward is "currently due to return to Shakhtar on 1 July".

Tete, who made 30 appearances for Lyon with eight goals and 10 assists, remains under contract at Shakhtar until the end of 2023.
