Exeter City have signed Amani Richards on a season-long loan from Premier League side Leicester City.
The 19-year-old forward has featured three times so far this season for the Foxes under-21 side, scoring three goals in all competitions, including a brace against Liverpool U-21 last week.
In July, the forward signed a new three-year deal at the King Power Stadium.
Exeter boss Gary Caldwell said: "He is the perfect player for us at this moment in time".
"He'll bring speed, a one vs one quality which we feel we've missed since Yanic's [Wildschut] been injured.
"He's someone who can bring speed and threat, and hopefully get the fans excited and off their seats because he's a real flair player."
Richards becomes the Grecians' 11th summer signing, subject to EFL approval.
