The Withdrawal Agreement provides that procedures under the European Arrest Warrant Framework Decision will continue to conclusion only in circumstances where an arrest has already been made prior to the end of the Transition Period. The UK has a longstanding policy of not distinguishing between UK nationals and others in extradition proceedings.
