Ben Davies is set to become Wales men's latest centurion with manager Craig Bellamy predicting a big future off the field for the "beyond impressive" Tottenham Hotspur defender.

The former Swansea City player's 100th cap will come when he leads Wales against Belgium in Monday's crucial World Cup qualifier against Belgium in Cardiff on Monday.

Davies, 32, will join former team-mates Gareth Bale, Chris Gunter and Wayne Hennessey in reaching that mark with Bale's 111-men's Wales cap record in Davies' sights.

Bellamy said: "I watched the game back against Canada (in September) and he (Davies) was so good. He was just amazing – every part of his game. As good as I've ever seen him play for Wales, that was my feeling.

"We can all agree that he's been a top player. But we are all very impressed with him as an individual, as a person.

"You can see when he does interviews. He's very impressive. He will be a top manager if he wants to be. Or he could become a director of football, or a CEO (chief executive officer).

"He's that level and beyond impressive as a person. His level of consistency – and his consistency of being available – is a credit to him."
