Premier League: James Ward-Prowse agrees new Southampton deal 
Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse has agreed a new five-year contract, according to Sky sources. The 20-year-old, who has been at St Mary's since he was eight, has made 17 appearances for Ronald Koeman's side this season.
Ward-Prowse, who has been capped 13 times at Under-21 level by England, made his debut against Crystal Palace as an 18-year-old and the extended deal will keep him at the club until 2020.
Speaking to Southampton’s official YouTube channel, he said: “The club is in a fantastic position and ever since I joined at a young age I knew it was the right place to be.
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.
There’s not many clubs in the country, or the world, who give young players the chance to play in the biggest league in the world.
“I’m very fortunate that I’ve been given that chance and now it’s time to repay the faith that the club have shown in me.
“It means everything to me. The club have always done their all for me to make sure I develop not only into a good footballer but a good person and I’m very thankful for that.”
