KEY POINTS

Tottenham Hotspur left-back Danny Rose is the latest Spurs star to commit his long-term future to White Hart Lane, signing a new five-year deal that expires in 2021. The England international has expressed his delight over the agreement and believes the club is going in the "right direction" under Mauricio Pochettino.
The 26-year-old defender is the sixth player to be handed a new contract by Spurs so far this month, following in the footsteps of Christian Eriksen, Harry Winks, Tom Carroll, Eric Dier and Dele Alli. Centre-back Kevin Wimmer also committed his long-term future to North London in July, while the likes of Kyle Walker, Jan Vertonghen and Erik Lamela are reportedly in talks to do the same in the near future.
These deals are a clear indication of Pochettino's long-term plans at White Hart Lane, after the Argentine boss signed a new deal in May.
Rose has established himself as the first-choice left-back for the former Southampton boss after winning his battle with Ben Davies for the role. The former Leeds defender recently revealed that he would like to hang his boots at Tottenham and now looks closer to fulfilling his wishes after the club confirmed his renewal until 2021.
"We are delighted to announce that Danny Rose has signed a new contract with the club that will run until 2021," Tottenham confirmed.
Rose expressed his delight over following in the footsteps of of Alli, Eriksen and Dier, reiterating his intentions to stay at Tottenham until the end of his career.
"It's been a great couple of week for the club with Dele, Eric, Christian, Harry Winks all signing contracts," he said. "Everyone knows that the club is going in the right direction and I'm over the moon that I'll stay here until I'm an old man. At the moment I wouldn't wish for anything more than to play for Spurs for the rest of my career."
