The 25-year-old Algerian international signed for Leicester from French Ligue 2 side Le Havre in January 2014, and follows the likes of Wes Morgan, Jamie Vardy and Kasper Schmeichel who have all committed their long-term futures to the club.

Manager Claudio Ranieri's side lost their opening league match against Hull City at the weekend, but will look to make amends when they play their first home game of the season against Arsenal on Saturday.
