The 27-year-old midfielder joined the Foxes in 2012 and was part of the Premier League winning squad in 2015-16.
Drinkwater is the Blues’ sixth senior signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Antonio Rudiger, Willy Caballero, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Alvaro Morata and Davide Zappacosta.
He has made 17 appearances in all competitions for the Foxes.
