Rob Kelly completed his third transfer of the day when he confirmed the capture of French forward Luigi Glombard, subject to FL paperwork approval.
The Cardiff City winger joins the Foxes for an initial one-month loan period, and will be available for Saturday's Championship encounter against Luton Town at the Walkers Stadium.
Glombard made the move to the highflying Bluebirds from Nantes at the start of the 2006-07 campaign, and has made seven appearances for Dave Jones' side to date.
The 22-year-old forward has represented his country at youth level, and made a total of 11 starts for Nantes before making the move to Wales.
City boss Rob Kelly said: "Luigi has decent pace and likes to get at people.
"He can play across the front positions, but we see him operating as a winger for us.
"He's been at Cardiff for six months now and knows what the Championship is all about.
"If he does well and it works out for both parties then there is a chance that the deal could be extended."
The player has been allocated the number 16 shirt.
