Kenyan forward Thomas Silko Amari Otieno has officially announced his move to English club Leicester City.

He confirmed the transfer a week after scoring for the team during their Under 21 Premier League Cup match, which unfortunately ended in a 4-3 defeat to Burnley at the Leicester City FC Training Ground.

Taking to his Instagram account, the former Chelsea under 23s player shared a photo of himself donning a Leicester City jersey at the Leicester City FC Training Ground, expressing his excitement for this new chapter with the caption, "Excited for this new chapter with @lcfc."

Thomas Silko had been without a club after his release by Chelsea at the conclusion of the 2022-2023 season. He initially joined Leicester City as a trialist before earning a permanent spot.

Primarily a right-winger, Silko's journey in football began when he joined Chelsea as an Under 10 player, where he spent nearly a decade before being deemed surplus to requirements.

In July, the 19-year-old had a brief trial period with Sunderland, but the move to the Black Cats did not materialize.

Silko boasts an impressive youth career, including a Premier League Runner-up medal in 2020/2021, FA Youth Cup Runner-up in 2019/2020, and a U18 Premier League Cup Winner in 2021/2022.

He has already made three appearances for Leicester, accumulating 213 minutes on the field and scoring one goal.
