According to The Sun, Tottenham Hotspur fullback Kyle Walker has agreed a new £75,000 a week contract which will earn him a whopping £19.5 million over the next five years.
The England international arrived at Spurs from Sheffield United in 2009, and went on to break into the first-team following successful loan spells at Queens Park Rangers and Aston Villa.
Walker has taken his game to another level over the past 18 months or so, consolidating his position as one of the Premier League’s best right-backs and first choice for England.

With his current deal set to expire in 2019, Spurs still have plenty of time before having to enter talks on a new deal, yet reports in The Sun claims that the club have opted to reward Walker and tie him down for a further period now.

Spurs have begun the season in good form, and secured their first away win of the Premier League campaign this weekend, thrashing Stoke City 4-0 at the Britannia Stadium.
With fellow teammate Christian Eriksen also recently committing himself long-term to Tottenham, Walker’s reported impending contract announcement will only add to the feel-good factor surrounding the club.
