From cinematic videos to a magician making Santi Cazorla appear in the middle of the Villarreal pitch – gone are the days of a simple photograph of a player signing his contract.
To tease their new addition, Leicester went down the route of WWE legend, The Undertaker.
The club’s official Twitter shared an enigmatic photo of the wrestler’s signature outfit in the middle of the pitch at the King Power Stadium.
