MADRID, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Mali striker Frederic Kanoute has extended his contract with Sevilla for an extra year until 2010, the Primera Liga side said on Monday.

The 29-year-old, who joined Sevilla from Tottenham Hotspur in 2005, has played a key role in the Andalucians' success in the last two seasons.

He scored in Sevilla's triumphs in successive UEFA Cup finals in 2006 and 2007 and grabbed the winner in their victory over Getafe in the King's Cup in June.

He was the club's top scorer with 21 goals in the league last season, helping them to a third-place finish and a berth in the Champions League third qualifying round.
