Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has claimed that he wants "fantastic" Danny Drinkwater to remain at the King Power Stadium "for a very long time" after the midfielder signed a new contract.
The 26-year-old has penned a new five-year deal with the Premier League champions.
Drinkwater is the latest first-team star that Leicester have managed to tie down to fresh terms following Kasper Schmeichel, Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez.
"Ever since I joined Leicester City, Danny has been one of our most consistent players," Ranieri told the club's official website. "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."
Drinkwater has made 177 appearances since moving to Leicester from Manchester United in 2012.
