Leicester City have tied down Ben Chilwell to a new contract.

Leicester City are in action against Arsenal on Monday night, and they have already given their fans something to shout about.

The Foxes will be looking for three points at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow, and they have managed to secure a new deal for left back Ben Chilwell ahead of the game.

Chilwell, 21, has come up through the Leicester ranks having arrived from Rushden and Diamonds in 2010, and has become a first-team star.

The left back has displaced Christian Fuchs under Claude Puel, and after earning his first England cap last month, he started in Monday’s 3-2 win over Spain.

Chilwell now looks like fighting it out with Luke Shaw to become England’s first-choice left back, and his performances had sparked major interest.

The Telegraph recently reported that Tottenham Hotspur want Chilwell to become their new left back, whilst The Mirror claimed on Thursday that Liverpool are back in for Chilwell as they consider replacements for Alberto Moreno.

However, both sides have had their hopes dashed, as Leicester confirmed on their official website on Saturday that Chilwell has signed a new deal, extending his stay at the King Power Stadium until June 2024.

After convincing Harry Maguire to sign a new deal, keeping Chilwell is another major boost for Leicester – and a blow to Liverpool and Spurs as they hunt left backs.
