Leeds forward Tyler Roberts has signed a new three-year contract with the club.
The Wales international had one year remaining on his previous deal after joining from West Brom in January 2018.
The 22-year-old has scored eight goals in 82 games for the club.
He made 28 appearances in all competitions last season, starting in 14 Premier League games and stepping off the bench on 13 other occasions, scoring his first top-flight goal in Leeds' penultimate league match, a 2-0 win at Southampton.
"I'm extremely happy to be signing," Roberts told Sky Sports News. "It's a club that I have a lot of love for and a lot of passion, so I'm just happy to just get it done and know that my future is there.

"I haven't reached my full potential yet and I haven't shown everything that I'm about - score goals and get more assists I'm happy to sign, but there's a lot more to come."
Roberts said it was a "relief" to score his first Premier League goal for the club.
"Just a sigh of relief," he said of the moment the ball went in. "I was getting a good run in the team and I hadn't hit the net yet. To hit the net and get on the scoresheet was a great feeling.
"You saw with the celebrations, a lot of emotion came out."
Roberts was included in Robert Page's 26-man Wales squad for Euro 2020 despite being sent home early before their 2022 World Cup qualifying win against the Czech Republic in March.
Roberts, Hal Robson-Kanu and Rabbi Matondo were thrown out of the squad for breaching Covid-19 protocols.
But Roberts won his 14th cap for his country when starting in last Saturday's goalless friendly against Albania in Cardiff.
Wales play their opening Euro 2020 group game on Saturday against Switzerland in Baku, Azerbaijan.
