Alasdair Gold has said that Tottenham Hotspur could soon start handing out new contracts to several of their key players, starting with Rodrigo Bentancur.
A couple of key men have already committed their futures to the club over recent weeks, with Djed Spence signing a new long-term deal, and the new club captain, Cristian Romero, also putting pen to paper on a contract.
According to reports over recent days, Spurs have already begun work on tying down an experienced star, who has been an important player for Thomas Frank so far.
Some sources have claimed that Tottenham CEO Vinai Venkatesham is now stepping up efforts to agree a new deal with Rodrygo Bentancur, who is in the final year of his contract at N17.
More new contract talks expected at Spurs
Alasdair Gold has now confirmed that tying down Bentancur is the priority for the Lilywhites since Thomas Frank is a big fan of the Uruguayan.
He suggested that Micky van de Ven, Dejan Kulusevski and Pedro Porro could also be rewarded with new deals, while a decision will be made on Richarlison’s future depending on his fitness this season.
When asked if any new contracts are in the offing at Tottenham, the journalist said on a Q&A on Football.London: “I think Rodrigo Bentancur is the obvious one and Thomas Frank really likes the Uruguayan so hopefully that will get done before it gets a bit nervy.

“A decision will have to be made over Richarlison if he can keep fit for the bulk of this season, and then I would imagine it’s about rewarding those who have impressed since arriving like Micky van de Ven, Pedro Porro and Dejan Kulusevski.”
Tottenham ready to double centre-back’s wages
This update from Alasdair Gold comes just after a report from TBR Football claimed that Tottenham are prepared to make a lucrative contract offer to Micky van de Ven.
The outlet asserted that the North London side are prepared to double the Dutchman’s current salary in an effort to tie him down.
