Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli has signed a new six-year deal at White Hart Lane.
The England midfielder, who arrived in north London little more than 15 months ago, has inked a new deal with Spurs which ties him to the club until 2022.
It is the second contract extension that Alli, 20, has signed since making his Premier League breakthrough and bumps him up the earnings table, with his new deal worth a basic £55,000-a-week.
"I'm happy to be here, playing at Tottenham," said Alli, speaking to Spurs' official 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."
Alli signed for Spurs in February 2015, joining from MK Dons for £5million. He remained on-loan at Stadium:mk until the following summer, ending his League One season with 16 goals in 44 games for Karl Robinson's side.
There had been an expectation that he would spend the 2015-16 season out on loan, but Alli was immediately drafted into Mauricio Pochettino's first-team squad.
His debut campaign in the Premier League ended with 10 goals in 33 games, with Alli earning himself a spot on the shortlist for PFA Young Player of the Year and a place in the Premier League Team of the Year, as Spurs emerged as Leicester's closest challengers for the title.
