Knight has committed his immediate future to the Foxes, and signed a contract running until the summer of 2021.

He will remain at Peterborough for the remainder of the current campaign, in order to pick up first-team experience.

Knight, 21, has been playing his football with Leicester since the age of eight and came through the academy set-up.
