Leicester City captain Wes Morgan could be offered a contract extension by manager Claude Puel.

The 34-year-old has one more year to run on his present deal but Puel has said Morgan is a valuable player in his squad.

Harry Maguire has become City's first choice centre back this season and the England international has played every minute of every Premier League game this season, and City are expected to recruit at least one new central defender this summer, with a permanent move for Aleksandar Dragovic, who has been on loan from Bayer Leverkusen this season, an option.

However, while the central defensive pairing of Morgan and Robert Huth, who is out of contract at the end of the season, appears to be over, Morgan is still part of Puel's plans.

“Wes is our captain and a valuable player for us," said Puel.

"He has a contract for next season and then we will see.

“I cannot say he can have six or seven years more of contract but I am happy with Wes, he’s a good professional with a good relationship with his team-mates.

“He is a valuable player for us and for the team. He’s very important and I am happy with him with everything.”
