Southampton centre-back Jan Bednarek has committed his long-term future to the club after signing a new long-term contract that promises to keep him at St Mary’s Stadium until 2025.

The Poland international, who has been regular this season, has agreed a four-and-a-half-year deal until the summer of 2025.

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl told the club’s official website: “He’s a Southampton player, but he is also still young with a lot of potential, so it is good for us to strengthen our commitment with him.

“He is a good example of someone who has worked hard to establish himself with us and I think he can continue to improve here and be an important player for us in the future.”

Bednarek, 24, has made 85 appearances in all competitions for the Premier League outfit since arriving from Lech Poznan in 2017.
