Latest Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive as Will Alves commits himself to club for the next four years
One of Leicester City’s most talented youngsters has committed his future to the club by signing a new long-term contract.
Will Alves, the 19-year-old attacking midfielder, has penned a new four-year deal at the King Power Stadium, and vowed to continue working hard to realise his undoubted potential.
Alves, who joined the Foxes at under-nines level, made his senior debut at the age of 16 in January 2022, coming on as a substitute in a 4-1 FA Cup victory over Watford at the King Power Stadium.
A Leicester City statement added: “His 2022/23 campaign was interrupted by injury, but the youngster made his return to action in an EFL Trophy clash at Fleetwood Town in November 2023 and has gone from strength to strength with a series of impressive displays since.”
A Foxes supporter and former season ticket-holder, Alves added: “Learning from all the different players here has been great for me, I couldn’t be in a better position. Being able to play with the players that I have been watching and being a Leicester fan and having this opportunity, it’s unbelievable.
“I just want to keep going, keep working hard throughout these next few years and hopefully get more chances soon with the First Team.
“I want to be playing as much First Team football as possible, trying to get some minutes. That’s the main thing for me, trying to play men’s football, that’s where I’ll learn best.”
