With Tottenham continuing to strengthen their squad, Spurs Web has taken a look at five players who could be handed new contracts.
It is understood that Tottenham Hotspur could dip into the transfer market this winter as they look to bolster their attack.
Spurs Web relayed reports claiming that Tottenham are on the lookout for good opportunities in the centre-forward market, and should one present itself, they will look to take it.
However, strengthening the squad will be far from the only priority in the coming months, as the Lilywhites will also look to extend the contracts of a few of their stars, and Spurs Web has identified five renewals that could happen before the season ends.
The teenager has impressed so far this season, with his Premier League debut performance catching the attention of pundits and those within Tottenham.
It was even explained that several people at Spurs expect Williams-Barnett to be competing for a first-team spot by the end of the season.
That is how highly rated the teenager is, and he is exactly the sort of talent the Lilywhites will be aiming to keep at N17, especially with reports of interest from elsewhere.
Borussia Dortmund are one of the sides keeping tabs on Williams-Barnett, alongside clubs in the Premier League.
Another player who could be in line for a renewal is Ben Davies. The Wales international only signed a contract extension with Tottenham last summer, for just one extra year.
However, about six months into his new deal, reports already suggest that Tottenham are looking to extend Davies’ contract for another year.
Should that happen, the 33-year-old will remain the longest-serving Spurs player, taking his stay to over 13 seasons. This campaign, he has certainly proven his value, with two goals in all competitions.
The former Burnley man was brought in on a free transfer as an understudy to Antonin Kinsky and has made only one appearance all season, in the Carabao Cup defeat to Liverpool.
His game time could well improve once the FA Cup comes around. He is clearly the second-choice option at Tottenham, and with his initial deal lasting a year, a renewal that would keep him at N17 beyond the summer could well be on the cards.
But it is far from guaranteed, as Tottenham could opt against a renewal if the Lilywhites change their approach in the goalkeeping department and look to bring in a goalkeeper capable of competing with Kinsky for the number one spot.
That, in fact, is not far-fetched, as Tottenham have been linked with a few shot-stoppers, including Hull City’s Konstantinos Tzolakis and Aston Villa’s Zion Suzuki.
Next season could also pose a different challenge if the Lilywhites qualify for European competition, raising further doubts over Dúbravka’s future.
The Swede has shown immense mentality to come back from an injury that kept him out for over a year, despite the various setbacks he encountered.
He is now back on the pitch, having made a few cameos off the bench. Kulusevski is one of the highest earners at Spurs, taking home £110,000 a week.
| Player | Position | Country | Annual Salary | Weekly Salary |
| Omar Marmoush | Forward | Egypt | £13,000,000 | £250,000 |
| Sandro Tonali | Midfielder | Italy | £10,400,000 | £200,000 |
| Xavi Simons | Midfielder | Netherlands | £10,140,000 | £195,000 |
| Mateus Fernandes | Midfielder | Portugal | £9,100,000 | £175,000 |
| James Maddison | Midfielder | England | £8,840,000 | £170,000 |
| Andy Robertson | Defender | Scotland | £8,320,000 | £160,000 |
| Conor Gallagher | Midfielder | England | £8,320,000 | £160,000 |
| Marcos Senesi | Defender | Argentina | £7,800,000 | £150,000 |
| Pedro Porro | Defender | Spain | £7,800,000 | £150,000 |
| Mohammed Kudus | Midfielder | Ghana | £7,800,000 | £150,000 |
| Dominic Solanke | Forward | England | £7,280,000 | £140,000 |
| Savio | Midfielder | Brazil | £6,767,000 | £130,000 |
| Tosin Adarabioyo | Defender | England | £5,720,000 | £110,000 |
| Dejan Kulusevski | Forward | Sweden | £5,720,000 | £110,000 |
With the Swede on such high wages, the Lilywhites will certainly not be rushing to extend his contract if he does not prove value for money.
There is no rush at the moment, with his deal running until 2028, but should the versatile midfielder return to his best between this season and next, an extension is very likely.
Maddison is another whose contract is slowly winding down, and it expires at the same time as Kulusevski’s in the summer of 2028.
Interestingly, the two midfielders find themselves in the same boat. Both are equally talented, but injuries have limited their impact.
When fit, they are among the best players at the club, but that might not justify an extension if they fail to get back to their best and continue to suffer injury setbacks.
The next year and a half will surely be crucial for Maddison if he is to keep his place at Tottenham, and it could be even harder given that he is 29 and will be around 31 when his contract runs out.
But all hope is not lost, as one would expect Tottenham to hand the Englishman a new deal should he impress while staying fit
