"I'm happy. I'm committed to the club. We had a great last season and we've also done well so far this season in the Champions League," said the defender in a statement.

"I'm happy here and I've had the best time of my career so far here. Nobody expected what we achieved so far and I think there's still a lot to come. We built a good foundation and I think we can aim for more," he added.

Fuchs, who retired from the Austrian national team (78 caps) after the European Championship last summer, joins key footballers like Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy, Kasper Schmeichel and Danny Drinkwater who renewed with Leicester in recent months.
