Ben Chilwell has committed his future at Leicester City until 2024 by signing a new deal.
The England left-back's previous deal, signed over two years ago, was scheduled to expire in 2021.
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.

Chilwell made his international debut on home soil in the 1-0 friendly win over Switzerland at the King Power Stadium in September.
He then started both of England's UEFA Nations League matches during the international break, a goalless draw behind closed doors away to Croatia and a 3-2 win against Spain.
