England midfielder Danny Drinkwater has agreed a new four year contract with Leicester City.

The 26-year-old is poised to make a return to the England fold under Sam Allardyce after missing out on Euro 2016 and has committed his future to Leicester by agreeing a new deal worth around £90,000 a week.

Drinkwater, whose current contract ran to 2018, follows Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy and Kasper Schmeichel by agreeing a new long-term deal along with manager Claudio Ranieri, Wes Morgan and Andy King.
