"This is a fantastic move for me as it is every player's dream to play in England and I can't wait to get started," he said.
"I am very excited. Leicester is a great club and one that I have heard many good things about. I have been shown around the stadium and it is very nice.
"I am really looking forward to playing there. Some people have told me that the fans here are amazing so I am looking forward to playing in front of them."
The Foxes have also signed 32-year-old Bulgaria midfielder Radostin Kishishev from Charlton.
"I watched him play against Belarus recently. I wanted to check he still had energy and enthusiasm - and he played well," said City boss Martin Allen.
"I'm delighted that he has agreed to come here. He gives us some steel in the centre of midfield."
