Mason signs five-and-a-half-year Tottenham deal

Ryan Mason has signed a new five-and-a-half-year contact extension at Tottenham, which will see him remain at White Hart Lane until 2020.

The 23-year-old has flourished under new manager Mauricio Pochettino, scoring his first senior goal for the club against Nottingham Forest in September before making his Premier League bow against Arsenal.

Mason joined the club's academy in 2008, coming through the ranks before a series of loan spells at the likes of Swindon, Doncaster and Millwall without making an appearance for Spurs' senior side.

However, under Pochettino, Mason has made 18 appearances this season including starting Wednesday night's League Cup semi-final first-leg win over Sheffield United.

Mason will now be looking for a second consecutive start in cup competitions as Tottenham host Leicester City in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday.
