Tottenham target Bamford overjoyed after signing long-term contract with Leeds

Patrick Bamford has committed his long-term future to Leeds United.

The English striker, who has been linked with Tottenham recently, is now tied to the club until 2026.

"It was something that was spoken about at the end of last season, I wanted to try and get it sorted as soon as possible before this season started," Bamford told LUTV.

"It dragged on a bit because of the Euros, everyone was busy. It took a bit of time but I'm really happy to finally have tied down my long-term future.

"As a person, I'm always wanting to improve and am always chasing something else. It's almost like we're growing at the same rate. The club wants to get back to where it was, hopefully reaching Europe at some point, but that's my ambition as well.

"So while they are matching, it is obviously perfectly suited."
