Danny Drinkwater has signed a contract extension at the Kings Power stadium. The new deal will take him to 2021. He follows in the footsteps of Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez, Kasper Schmeichel, Wes Morgan and Andy King as they thought it is best to stay with the Foxes.
The England international said to the club's official website:
“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."
“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.”
Coach Ranieri also added, “Ever since I joined Leicester City, Danny has been one of our most consistent players. He’s a fantastic player and a fantastic man."
“He’s an important player for us and a very popular player in the dressing room. I want him to stay with us for a very long time.”
Delighted to sign a new contract @LCFC! It's been a great few years, full of success. The future is bright!! 
Drinkwater failed to make the squad that participated at the just concluded Euro 2016 despite making his debut against Holland in March. The 26-year old was a key figure alongside N'Golo Kante at the heart of the Foxes' midfield last season and he has also started strongly this season making the highest nummber of tackles by an English player.

117 - @DannyDrinkwater has made more tackles than any other English player since the start of last season in the Premier League. Committed.
