Ben Chilwell has committed his future at Leicester City until 2024 by signing a new deal.

Sky Sports News reported earlier on Saturday that the defender was set to agree a new contract and the Foxes later confirmed he had signed the extension.

The 21-year-old told the club's website: "Leicester's always felt like the right place for me. I've had fantastic support at every level since I arrived nine years ago and I've always felt opportunities would come if I continued to work hard.

"That's a great feeling to have as a young player. The club has really big, long-term plans and it's really exciting to know that I'm going to be part of that.

"We've got a great squad with quite a youthful core so there's a real opportunity for us to push on and achieve something together in the coming years."

Chilwell made his international debut on home soil in the 1-0 friendly win over Switzerland at the King Power Stadium in September.
