Aymeric Laporte has signed a two-year contract extension at Manchester City, the Premier League champions announced on Friday.

The 24-year-old, who joined City in a then club record GBP 57 million (USD 74 million) deal in January 2018, is now committed to the club until 2025.

The French centre-back has excelled this season, becoming a mainstay of a side challenging for success in four competitions.

"I could not be happier to commit my long-term future to Manchester City," said Laporte.

"The club offers me everything I need to improve my game. I've already made great strides and I want to continue getting better and better."
Director of football Txiki Begiristain said: "Aymeric is a huge talent and the fact he has committed his best years to us is something to celebrate."
He said:"All the matches that we have got from now until the end of the season are finals. We will try to win them all and try to achieve our objectives."
