Walker signs new long-term Tottenham deal

Kyle Walker has penned a new contract with Tottenham as a reward for his brilliant form this season.

The 21-year old full-back, who was crowned the Professional Footballers' Association Young Player of the Year this season, has signed an extension which will keep him at White Hart Lane until 2017.

"The club is delighted to announce that Kyle Walker has signed a new contract which runs until 2017," read a statement on Tottenham's official website.

"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.

"Kyle has also been recognised at international level this year with his first two full caps for England."
