Danny Drinkwater has signed a new five-year extension with Leicester City.

Drinkwater will be tied to Leicester until 2021.

“I’ve loved playing for this club, it’s been perfect for me and my career and I want to be here for a long time to come. I couldn’t be happier,” the 26-year-old told Leicester’s official website. “I’ve grown a lot as a player and a person in the last four years and Leicester City has been a massive part of that. I owe a lot to the staff here for helping me get to this point – they’ve been quality.

“And I love being part of this team. We’ve been through so much together and I’m sure there’s a lot more to come.”

Drinkwater signed from Manchester United in 2012 and has made 177 appearances in total for Leicester.
