PFA Young Player of the Year Kyle Walker has penned a new deal with Tottenham, which will keep him in north London until 2017.
The full-back has had an excellent season, making the right-back position his own at White Hart Lane and gaining international recognition with England.
The news of an extended contract was released on Spurs’ official website, with the players achievements this term hailed.
“The club is delighted to announce that Kyle Walker has signed a new contract which runs until 2017,” the statement reads.
“Following successful loans with QPR and Aston Villa last season, Kyle returned to White Hart Lane at the start of the current campaign and has appeared in 47 of our 51 games to date, scoring key goals against Arsenal and Blackburn Rovers.
“His performances have not gone unnoticed, with his fellow professionals voting him the PFA Young Player of the Year last month ahead of the likes of Sergio Aguero and Danny Welbeck.
