Alli pens six-year contract extension with Tottenham
LONDON: Dele Alli has committed his long-term future to Tottenham Hotspur by signing a new six-year contract until 2024, the Premier League club said on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old, who arrived from Milton Keynes Dons in 2015, made an instant impact on his arrival, winning Professional Footballers’ Association Young Player of the Year award and earning a spot in PFA Premier League Team of the Year in each of his first two seasons at Spurs.
“We are delighted to announce that Dele Alli has signed a new contract with the Club, which will run until 2024,” Spurs said on their website.
“Delighted to have signed a new contract until 2024. Would like to say a big thank you to the chairman, manager, all my teammates and the fans for their constant support,” Alli said in a statement on Twitter.
“I’ve loved my time at the Spurs so far and I’m very excited to see what the future holds!” he added.
Alli has also been one of the regulars in Gareth Southgate’s England team, winning 31 caps since making his debut in 2015.
Without having signed any players in the close season, Spurs locked in a number of their first-team players in recent months by handing them long-term deals.
Striker Harry Kane, defender Davinson Sanchez and wingers Erik Lamela and Son Heung-min also agreed improved terms earlier this year.
