The 29-year-old, who has made over 170 appearances for the Foxes, is now contracted to Claude Puel's side until June 2022.

Albrighton, who moved to the King Power Stadium on a free transfer from Aston Villa in the summer of 2014, is pleased to have got his long-term future sorted out, saying: "It was totally straightforward.

"Leicester offered me a deal and I was always going to sign it. I've had some good times here and hopefully I can continue to do so.

"When I first signed, I looked at the squad that was in the dressing room and the club itself in terms of its fanbase and what sort of club it was.

"It was a family club back then and it's a family club now. It's something that suits me down to the ground. It really fits in well with me as a person and it's the perfect fit for me."

Albrighton made more than 100 appearances for Villa before joining Leicester when his contract expired.

He played a key role in Leicester's title-winning campaign and in their run to the quarter-finals of the Champions League in 2016/17.

Leicester are 12/5 to beat Wolves on Saturday lunchtime with Albrighton 22/1 to be the first goal scorer in the encounter at Molineux.
