<div class="pager top">Leicester have secured the future of a second England defender by handing Ben Chilwell a new long-term deal.</div>
</div>
<div class="news-text clearfix">
<div class="ctx_content">
<p>A month after agreeing fresh terms with Harry Maguire, Leicester have locked up 21-year-old left-back Chilwell, who has come through the ranks at the King Power Stadium.</p>
<p>Chilwell made his England debut last month and his first starts followed in last week’s goalless Nations League draw with Croatia and the 3-2 win in Spain.</p>
<p>Chilwell joined Leicester’s academy aged 12 and said he was excited to extend his association with the Foxes until June 2024.</p>
<p><em>“Leicester’s always felt like the right place for me,”</em> he said.</p>
<p><em>“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.</em></p>
<p><em>“The club has really big, long-term plans and it’s really exciting to know that I’m going to be part of that.</em></p>
<p><em>We’ve got a great squad with quite a youthful core so there’s a real opportunity for us to push on and achieve something together in the coming years.”</em></p>
<p>Chilwell spent a large part of Leicester’s famous title-winning season of 2015/16 on loan at Huddersfield, but after making his Premier League debut the following campaign he has nailed down the left-back position as his own.</p>
<p>Leicester boss Claude Puel praised Chilwell’s progress and said he can be a role model for youngsters in the club’s academy.</p>

<div id="google_ads_iframe_/1005055/n_bn_mpu_start_300x250_1__container__"><em>“It’s great news for the club,”</em> Puel said of the new deal. <em>“Ben is an exciting young player with huge potential who is already learning and improving by playing regular Premier League football.</em></div>
</div>
</div>
<p><em>“If he continues to work hard he will become a valuable player for us and I hope for the England team.</em></p>
<p><em>“He is already an example for the young players of our Academy, highlights the excellent work within it and validates the project of the club.”</em></p>
<p>Chilwell has played every minute so far of Leicester’s 2018/19 Premier League campaign, which continues away to Arsenal on Monday night.</p>
