Kyle Walker: New deal

KYLE WALKER SIGNS NEW SPURS DEAL

Tottenham right-back Kyle Walker has signed a new contract to keep him at White Hart Lane until 2017.
The England international, who was last month voted PFA Young Player of the Year, has been one of the north London club's most impressive performers this season.
The 21-year-old, who spent last season on loan at QPR and Aston Villa, has started 25 of Spurs' 36 games in the Barclays Premier League this term.


A statement on the Tottenham's official website read: "The club is delighted to announce that Kyle Walker has signed a new contract which runs until 2017.
"Following successful loans with QPR and Aston Villa last season, Kyle returned to White Hart Lane at the start of the current campaign and has appeared in 47 of our 51 games to date, scoring key goals against Arsenal and Blackburn Rovers.
"His performances have not gone unnoticed, with his fellow professionals voting him the PFA Young Player of the Year last month ahead of the likes of Sergio Aguero and Danny Welbeck.


"Kyle has also been recognised at international level this year with his first two full caps for England."
Walker started his career at hometown club Sheffield United before joining Tottenham in 2009, although he was loaned back to the Yorkshire club for the 2009/10 campaign.
He has broken into the Tottenham team this season and made his England debut in the 1-0 friendly win over Spain last November.
Last weekend he scored a brilliant free-kick in Tottenham's 2-0 win at home to Blackburn.

Timo Gebhart: Moves for an undisclosed fee

GEBHART SET FOR NURNBERG

Nurnberg have confirmed the signing of Timo Gebhart from Bundesliga rivals Stuttgart for next season.
The 23-year-old attacking midfielder has agreed a four-year contract with the Bavarian club and will move for an undisclosed fee.
He will replace Philipp Wohlscheid, who will be joining Bayer Leverkusen.
Nurnberg general manager Martin Bader told the club's official website: "There are still a few formalities to clear up with Stuttgart, but the principle agreement is there."


Gebhart said: "Of course when you love football, you do follow your local clubs and I have been particularly impressed by the way Nurnberg have developed, especially with young, ambitious players.
"Therefore, I was honoured when Nurnberg approached me and I did not need to think for long.
"I can see a chance of playing regular football in a young team here."


Gebhart has already passed a medical in Nurnberg and will soon link up with Dieter Hecking's men.
His new coach is excited about the prospect of working with the 23-year-old next season.
"Timo has extraordinary qualities and he will do our team good going forwards," he said.
"We are delighted that another young player wants to come to Nurnberg to develop."
