Danny Drinkwater says he would like to commit his future to Leicester City but admits he is still waiting for a new contract offer from the club.

The Premier League champions have moved to try and secure the futures of other stars, with new deals offered to key trio Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and N'Golo Kante over the summer, even though Chelsea have now agreed a fee for Kante.

Vardy has already signed his four-year deal - a second new contract in the last year - after rejecting a move to Arsenal.

Winger Marc Albrighton and captain Wes Morgan are among other players still waiting for offers after Vardy's future dominated the agenda earlier in the summer.

Now Drinkwater, 26, who played a pivotal role in last season's remarkable title success, says he would also like to commit his future to the Foxes.

"I am not going chasing the club," said Drinkwater. "It is up to them to approach me. I would love to commit but I just want to play football.

"I still have two years left on my contract so it is not a be all and end all if I don't sign a new one in the next few weeks.

"I'm still under contract so I can't really say too much but I'm a Leicester City player at the minute. It's up to them how they handle it.

"Arsenal are a massive club and a club a lot of people would love to play for so 'Vards' committing his future to Leicester must put the club in a good light."

Leicester are gearing up for their first ever Champions League campaign and Manchester United fan Drinkwater admits he used to watch his own heroes in the competition, even paying for a tour of Barcelona's Nou Camp stadium.

"As a fan you just look at the players walking out and you are buzzing for them," Drinkwater, who came through the youth system at United, said. "So if I'm the one they're buzzing for that adds a bit more excitement.

Leicester City captain Wes Morgan hopes N'Golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez will both stay at the club this summer.

"I remember in Moscow, when we beat Chelsea in the final [in the Champions League in 2008], they kept us in the stadium for about two hours afterwards and I was raging.

"We nearly missed the flight home because of it but we were celebrating so it wasn't too bad!"

Drinkwater is now targeting European glory and an England place after missing out on Roy Hodgson's final Euro 2016 squad.

"If there was something I could have done more to get in the squad I would have done it, but I am not sure there was," he said.

"Roy pulled me into a room and explained the situation and I understood what he was saying. I was disappointed but there was nothing I could have done by that stage."
