Tottenham could still extend senior player’s contract by an extra 12 months
Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to continue their rebuild this summer, but they also have an important decision to make about one of their most senior players.
While there will be plenty of talk surrounding potential incomings at Tottenham Hotspur this summer, a fair few players could also be heading out the door.
We have identified six players who could leave Tottenham as free agents once their contracts expire on June 30.
In addition, five Tottenham players may have already played their final games in a Lilywhite shirt, depending on the club’s decision in the coming weeks.
Ben Davies Tottenham exit still on the cards amid contract uncertainty
Indeed, Tottenham’s longest-serving player finds himself in both categories, as his current deal is set to run out at the end of June. Should the Spurs board opt against offering an extension, Ben Davies may well have played his final match for the club.
It was reported a few weeks ago that Ben Davies was expected to depart Tottenham as a free agent, with no new contract being tabled for the Welsh international.
However, a fresh update from George Sessions, a Tottenham reporter, has revealed that a final decision has not yet been made.
According to the journalist, Spurs are understood to hold a 12-month option to extend the defender’s stay, with clarity expected in the coming days.
He wrote on X: “A decision on Ben Davies is required. Spurs hold 12-month option. Final call expected by next week.”
Spurs still need defensive reinforcements even if Davies stays
Regardless of whether Ben Davies remains at Tottenham or not, it is clear the club need to bolster their defence this summer, as his recent displays at N17 have left much to be desired.
Tottenham should be aiming to recruit a right-back who can compete with Pedro Porro and also bring in a centre-back to provide additional cover, particularly in case Micky van de Ven picks up another injury.
Davies has certainly been a reliable servant for the club over the years, but if he is allowed to leave on a free, it would not be the end of the world. Spurs could quite easily move forward with other options if they prove to be better fits.
