Dele Alli has signed a new deal at Tottenham that will keep him at the club until 2022.
The 20-year-old England midfielder follows a number of players to commit their future to Spurs in recent weeks, with Christian Eriksen, Eric Dier, Harry Winks and Tom Carroll already signed, while Danny Rose, Jan Vertonghen and Erik Lamela are all also reportedly in talks over new deals.
Alli made an instant impact at White Hart Lane last season having joined in a £5m deal from MK Dons, scoring 10 goals from midfield and striking up an effective partnership with Harry Kane as Mauricio Pochettino's side finished third in the Premier League.
His form won him the PFA Young Player of the Year award and earned him an England call, scoring on his full international debut in a 2-0 win over France last November before featuring in the disappointing Euro 2016 campaign.
"I'm happy to be here and playing at Tottenham," he told the club website. "Personally, I can't think of anywhere better, with the fans, the manager we've got here and the young team - it's a great place to be.
"It's happened so quickly, starting at Tottenham, playing for England… it's been a crazy year for me and there are so many people I have to thank.
"I'm happy to be at this club and I can't thank the manager and all the staff enough for everything they've done for me, and the fans, they've been right behind me since I signed. Hopefully there are a lot of good times to come.
"The hard work isn't going to stop here. I have to keep working hard and keep fighting for my place in this team."
