His run with the senior team began last summer during preseason matches, and he made his first-team debut as a substitute during the third round of the League Cup against Gillingham last September. Walkes has made 12 appearances for Tottenham's reserves this season.
Atlanta and Minnesota start play in Major League Soccer in March.
