Leicester City has signed Brazilian winger Tete on a deal until the end of the season, the Premier League club said on Sunday.
He joins Leicester after a spell with Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyonnais following the suspension of his contract with Shakhtar Donetsk.
A FIFA ruling last year allowed all foreign players based in Ukraine to suspend their contracts. Tete will return to Shakhtar on July 1.
The 22-year-old has made 17 appearances in Ligue 1 this season, scoring six times and contributing three assists, and he has represented Brazil at the Under-20 and Under-23 levels.
He will be available for Leicester, which is 14th in the table when it plays Aston Villa in its next Premier League game on Saturday.
