The German Bundesliga side Bayern Munich on Monday extended the contract of Alphonso Davies until 2025.

"Both sides agreed to extend the player’s contract, which originally ran until 2023, for a further two years until 30 June 2025," says Bayern on its website.

"I want to win as many titles as possible with this club. The mentality of always wanting to win everything is in FC Bayern's DNA," Davies said.

The 19-year-old defender joined Bayern Munich in 2019 from Major League Soccer (MLS) of the U.S club Vancouver Whitecap.

Scoring 2 goals in 35 appearances with the Bavarians, Davies helped his team clinch one Bundesliga title and one German Cup so far.

Sporting Director Hasan Salihamidzic also said that they are very pleased to make a long-term deal with Davies, adding that: " With his speed, his enthusiasm and his professional attitude, Alphonso is an ideal fit for our team."
