Koke inks fresh terms with Atletico Madrid until 2024

Atletico Madrid tied Koke down to a new contract until June 30, 2024 on Tuesday.

The new deal would take the composed and influential midfielder to 24 years with Los Colchoneros after he joined his local club at the age of 8.

"Atleti is the club of my life and it's an honour to be part of its future," Koke told the club's website after signing fresh terms.

Koke, 25, quickly developed into one of the key members of Diego Simeone's designs in the Spanish capital. He's an industrious player, but one with great tactical and technical traits, and is adept at threading a probing pass as his eight assists - no Atleti player tallied higher in that department - and his team-leading 72 key passes over the 2016-17 La Liga season attest.

His versatility saw him crop up in each position across the midfield, but he most commonly ran matters from the middle of the park.

Atletico Madrid finished third in the domestic standings and trophyless, but was handed a boost Sunday when popular gaffer Simeone committed his future to the club.
