Samir Handanovic's future at Inter has been secured after the goalkeeper agreed a contract until 2019.

The former Slovenia international has been with Inter since 2012 and his contract was due expire at the end of the campaign.

However, the 31-year-old is set to remain with the Serie A leaders for the next three-and-a-half seasons.

"When there is a will on both sides there are never problems," Handanovic said of his new deal.

Handanovic has formed part of an impressive Inter rearguard this term that have conceded just 11 goals in 17 league games to sit top of Serie A.

The ex-Udinese player has the highest save percentage in the Italian top flight so far this season - saving 84.5 per cent from 61 saves.
