Kasper Schmeichel has signed a new five-year contract at Leicester City, the club announced on Saturday.
Schmeichel was one of the Foxes' key performers in their remarkable Premier League title success last season, playing every minute of every game.
The 29-year-old has made more than 200 appearances for Leicester since signing from Leeds United in 2011 and is now contracted to the club until 2021.
He told LCFC TV: "I'm just buzzing and I can't wait for the season to get started. It was a very easy decision.
"It was a case of coming back after winning the Premier League and making sure that the hunger was the same within myself and the squad. I've come back absolutely convinced that this is the place for me to be.
"We've taken some massive steps and ever since I arrived it's been fantastic. I've loved being here from minute one."
Schmeichel, who had been linked with a move to Everton over the course of the summer, has followed in Jamie Vardy's footsteps by committing his long-term future to the Premier League champions.
Vardy, 29, snubbed a switch to Arsenal in favour of inking a four-year contract extension at Leicester in June, while captain Wes Morgan also signed a new deal until 2019 in July.
