LONDON: Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli has signed a new six-year contract that is set to see him stay with the north London side until 2022.
Alli has followed in the footsteps of Spurs team-mates Christian Eriksen, Eric Dier, Tom Carroll and Harry Winks, who have all extended their contracts in recent weeks.
“I’m happy to be here and playing at Tottenham,” Alli said. “Personally I can’t think of anywhere better, with the fans, the manager we’ve got here and the young team.”
