AjcW Posted 25 August 2016 Share Posted 25 August 2016 Danny Drinkwater has become the latest member of the Leicester City squad to sign a new long-term contract with the Foxes. - Danny Drinkwater signs new contract with Leicester City to 2021 - Drinkwater was a key figure in City’s Premier League title triumph - England international thanks club staff for helping his development - Drinkwater joins the likes of Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy and Kasper Schmeichel in signing new deal Danny Drinkwater has become the latest member of the Leicester City squad to sign a new long-term contract with the Foxes. Danny, 26, has agreed a deal to 2021 at King Power Stadium, where, over the last four and a half years, he has developed into one of England’s most accomplished central midfield players. The England international joins the likes of Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy, Kasper Schmeichel, Wes Morgan and Andy King in committing his future to the Premier League champions this summer. Danny told lcfc.com: “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.” Signed from Manchester United in January 2012, Danny soon established himself as a mainstay in the City side and has made 177 appearances for the Foxes since. He was the Club’s Player of the Year in the record-breaking promotion season of 2013/14 and played in 35 of 38 games last season, as City defied pre-season odds of 5000/1 to win the Premier League title. Danny’s contribution to Leicester’s triumph last term saw him called into the England squad for the first time in March, winning his first cap with a man-of-the-match display against Holland before winning two more during England’s preparations for Euro 2016. Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri said: “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.” Read more at http://www.lcfc.com/news/article/2016-17/danny-drinkwater-signs-long-term-leicester-contract-3270111.aspx#EOV4kMZLW5SPPXce.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfox Posted 25 August 2016 Share Posted 25 August 2016 Back of the net.... Resigning all but one of our key players has been a master stroke... maybe Rudkin is not so awful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 25 August 2016 Share Posted 25 August 2016 Probably one of Claudio's biggest successes here is getting the best out of Drinkwater. Hope he can add a goal or two to his game because he has a bit of everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 25 August 2016 Share Posted 25 August 2016 I would say that he's been our best player since the turn of the year and I include Kante, Vardy and Mahrez in that. Absolutely brilliant news on a brilliant day for Leicester City FC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 25 August 2016 Share Posted 25 August 2016 So pleased we've tied down Drinkwater, Vardy and Mahrez now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighPeakFox Posted 25 August 2016 Share Posted 25 August 2016 I think those that bemoan the lack of marquee signings should regard Vardy, Mahrez and Drinky signing improved contracts as such - I didn't want NG to leave but imagine the hole had these guys left.........it now only requires 1 or 2 more decent players and we've got a very good squad again.
