Speaking to LCFC.com, Vestergaard said: “With the football and my situation having developed in a positive way, I’m just very happy to be here. It’s something that fills me with some sort of pride as well that I went through the lows and I continued to work. I’ve come out on the other side and shown a little bit more of what I can contribute.”

Celebrating a season to remember.

The Denmark international has made 67 appearances in all competitions for City, including 42 league displays last season, with his performances at the heart of the defensive line helping the Foxes to the Sky Bet Championship title.

He netted his first goal for the Club in a 3-1 win at Swansea City in October, before scoring his second of the campaign in a 3-2 home victory over Millwall in December.

His displays in 2023/24 also earned him an international recall in November, as he featured in UEFA EURO 2024 qualifying games against Slovenia and Northern Ireland to take his tally to 39 senior caps.
