Tottenham defender Kyle Walker has signed a new five-year contract, the club have announced.

Walker joined Spurs in 2009 and has since made 155 Premier League appearances for the north London side. His new deal will run until 2021.

The 26-year-old becomes the seventh Tottenham player to extend his commitment this month, following Christian Eriksen, Harry Winks, Tom Carroll, Eric Dier, Danny Rose and Dele Alli.

‘One of our longest-serving players and fast approaching 200 appearances for us in all competitions, Kyle joined us from Sheffield United in the summer of 2009 and after loan spells at QPR and Villa, established himself at Spurs in a memorable breakthrough campaign in 2011-12, where his displays earned the PFA Young Player of the Year award,’ a piece on Tottenham’s official website read.

“It’s a great honour,” Walker said. “I want to say a big thanks to the chairman and the manager for putting their faith in me.

“It’s been a long stay here but a very enjoyable one, I’m fully enjoying it.

“It’s like my second home now and I’m happy to commit my future to Tottenham Hotspur.”
