Kyle Walker has signed a new long-term contract with Tottenham Hotspur that will keep him at the club until 2021.
Walker, 26, is the latest Spurs player to commit his future to the club, following Eric Dier, Danny Rose, Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli in agreeing a contract extension.
The England international right-back described the club as “like my second home now” adding that he was “happy to commit my future” to Tottenham.
“It’s a great honour,” Walker told Spurs TV. “I want to say a big thank you 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.”
Walker has established himself as one of Tottenham’s most consistent performers under Mauricio Pochettino and was an integral part of the team qualifying for the Champions League last season.
He has made a strong start to the current campaign, registering two assists in Spurs’ opening five league games and helping Pochettino’s men record three clean sheets.
Walker’s performances have also earned him a regular spot for England, for whom he has 20 caps so far, and he started Sam Allardyce’s first game in charge against Slovakia three weeks ago.
Spurs are expected to confirm more new contracts in the coming weeks, with Jan Vertonghen and Erik Lamela both in talks over new deals.
