Tottenham are poised to secure the services of Ben Davies for at least another season, with the club reportedly ready to activate an extension clause in the defender’s contract, according to The Athletic.
The experienced Welshman’s current deal is set to expire next summer, but his performances and leadership on and off the pitch have convinced Spurs to keep him at the club.
Ben Davies: A Tottenham legend
Since joining from Swansea City in 2014, Davies has been a model of consistency and versatility for Spurs. Initially utilised as a left-back, he transitioned seamlessly to a left-sided centre-back role in recent seasons, thriving under various managerial setups.
Over a decade of service, Davies has racked up 338 appearances, scoring nine goals and providing 23 assists, a testament to his durability and reliability.
The 31-year-old once again demonstrated his importance in Tottenham’s emphatic 4-0 win over Manchester City last week. With first-choice centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven sidelined through injury, Davies stepped into the breach with composure and maturity, effectively managing City’s dangerous attack spearheaded by Erling Haaland.
So far this season, Davies has made eight appearances across all competitions. He has been a regular in Tottenham’s Europa League and domestic cup campaigns while providing reliable cover in Premier League matches when needed.
His ability to adapt to various roles and remain calm under pressure has made him an invaluable member of the squad.
By extending his contract, Spurs will ensure depth and stability in their defensive unit, a critical component for maintaining their competitive edge while building for long-term success.
In a squad full off talented youngsters, Davies’ presence is vital both on and off the pitch, with him being a role model for many at the club.
