Both John Elsom and Muzzy Izzet have spoken about their delight at Dennis Wise agreeing to join Leicester this week.

Leicester Chairman, John Elsom completed negotiations for 34-year-old's three-year-deal on Monday night. Wisey is due back in Leicester on Thursday for a medical and if, as expected, everything goes to plan then he will sign a contract and be officially unveiled at a press conference at Filbert Street on Monday when Taylor returns from his holiday in Spain. John Elsom said:

"He will be an on the field motivator for us and his experience will be a major asset."

The City chairman said that no negotiations had taken place over whether Wise would be given the captains armband and that the decision was down to the manager.

Elsom has confirmed that Peter Taylor has more money to spend and hopes to sign two more players this summer..

Muzzy Izzet, who used to clean Wisey's boots when he was a trainee at Chelsea, told the Daily Express that

"It will be another ambition achieved when we line up alongside each other next season,"

"Since Neil Lennon left we've been short of a real leader off the pitch and I am sure Wisey will become an inspirational figure very quickly."

Muzzy also said

"If we can get John Hartson as well we can be a real force next season.

"Hopefully this was just the first shot across Coventry's bows and John will eventually arrive at Filbert Street."
