Southampton have tied James Ward-Prowse to a long-term contract extension, according to reports.

The Saints skipper has committed to the club until 2025, the Telegraph has reported.

Ward-Prowse already has two years remaining on his current deal but will now see an increase in wages after an excellent season under Ralph Hasenhuttl.

The Austrian handed Ward-Prowse the captain's armband after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg expressed his desire to leave St. Mary's.
