Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse has penned a new contract.

Ward-Prowse has committed his future to Southampton by penning a new five-and-a-half-year deal at St Mary's.

The 20 year-old is expected to be handed a senior England debut later this season.

Ward-Prowse's form has also seen him linked with Tottenham and Manchester City this season.

"The club is in a fantastic position and ever since I joined the club at a young age I knew it was the right place to be," Ward-Prowse told Southampton's YouTube channel.

"I fell in love with the place straight away.

"I've been on a fantastic journey, the club has too, and it's great to extend my stay. I'm really excited for the next few years.

"You only have to look at the players we've produced over the last few years to see it is the right place."
