Leicester City Football Club is delighted to announce that defender Ben Chilwell has signed a new long-term contract with the Premier League champions.
Ben, 19, commits his future to the Foxes for the next five seasons to June 2021, having built a reputation as one of England’s most promising young defenders since graduating from the Club’s highly regarded Academy.
The final details of the deal were completed at City’s pre-season training base in Los Angeles, where the Foxes face Paris Saint-Germain in the International Champions Cup this Saturday.
Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri said: “It’s fantastic news for us. Ben is a player with a big future and I am very happy that future will be with Leicester City.

“Ever since I arrived in Leicester, Ben has been a young player that has shown a lot of promise. He has all the attributes you would want in a defender and shows a lot of maturity for a player of just 19.

“He has come back for pre-season in very good condition and is already showing that he is ready to push for a place in the team.”

While yet to make his Premier League debut, Chilwell impressed in both the FA Cup and the EFL Cup for City last season, while also gaining experience at Championship-level during an eight-game loan spell with Huddersfield Town.
At international level, Ben most recently made the step up to England Under-21s, having already featured at Under-18, Under-19 and Under-20 level for his country.
On City’s books since the age of 11, Chilwell impressed at every stage of his development through the Leicester City Academy. He captained the Under-18 side that became only the second in the Club’s history to reach the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup and has been a standout performer for the Under-21s since turning pro.
The Milton Keynes-born youngster has featured in both of City’s pre-season fixtures so far this summer and will be in the squad once more this Saturday when the Foxes face French champions Paris Saint-Germain at LA’s StubHub Center in the International Champions Cup.

Excellent news.

I hope there is no release clause as he will become our main left back soon and there is only Shaw at Man Utd that compares in my opinion.

You just have seen more of him than I have.

 

[Graz]

Great news! Being chased by big clubs so another strong sign of intent from us

He's going to be a fecking Rolls Royce of a defender.

Keep your head down Ben and don't disappear up your own arse like a lot of young English players seem to.

Only a matter of time until he stabs the club in the back and goes to WBA

Interesting that we kept this one and let Doodoo feck off up north. Maybe only one was worth keeping hold of?

 

[Mawsley]

Kept?

Delph signed a four and a half year contract and pledged his future to Villa.

Dodoo was offered a new contract. He turned it down. So we obviously wanted to keep him, but not enough to make him an offer he couldn't refuse.

 

[SwedeFox]

As Chilwell is captain of England under-20's and Dodoo has got one U18 cap, it seems like we've got our priorities right

If Chilwell gets to 22 and only has one half of Premier League football at City behind him then I think he'd be right to leave aswell.

True. I'm not looking forward to gloating West Brom fans coming to our gaff and singing, 'Chilwell's staying up.'

It was more aimed at Brown Nose's comments about it being worrying that Doodoo chose Rangers not us. The contract we offered him could well have been just enough to ensure we qualify for compensation.

Dodoo turned 21 a month ago.

 

[Ike O'Noclassed]

Kept?

Delph signed a four and a half year contract and pledged his future to Villa.

But did Villa have him sign the thing with the Pacific and a bunch of palm trees as a backdrop? Interesting that young Ben appears to be right-handed - shocking!
