Daniel Levy has secured another win at Tottenham as a midfielder signs a new deal at Hotspur Way.
Levy seemed to be on an uptick two weeks ago. Tottenham announced the signing of Mohammed Kudus, news of potential investment surfaced, and Morgan Gibbs-White was to become the latest arrival.
However, things quickly derailed as Gibbs-White’s transfer was blocked by Forest, and transfer dealings have now gone quiet in North London.
Despite this, it seems the cogs have begun to turn once again as Tottenham make a new announcement.
Rio Kyerematen signs new deal at Tottenham
Tottenham announced on Friday (25 July) that they were “delighted” to share that Rio Kyerematen has signed a new contract with the club.
MORE SPURS STORIES
The talented midfielder has been a main feature at the academy since the age of eight, signing his first professional contract with Spurs in 2022. He has since seen his role grow at Hotspur Way.
To date, Kyerematen’s most memorable feat came during Spurs’ Under-18 Premier League Cup win in the 2022/23 season. The midfielder catapulted the Lilywhites to the final after he scored a late winner in the semi-final against Sheffield United.
The 20-year-old went on to score a brace against Aston Villa to win the cup at Villa Park.
He inched closer towards first-team glory last season, making his first appearance against Newcastle United during Spurs’ post-season tour of Australia in 2024. Ange Postecoglou then named him in the squad against Elfsborg in the UEFA Europa League, where he remained on the bench.
With Kyerematen already tasting the senior stage, there is no doubt Thomas Frank could call him up next season.
Kyerematen to see first-team minutes next season
While Tottenham are well-equipped in midfield, Kyerematen could see some minutes in the event of a sale or if Gibbs-White does not arrive.
After qualifying for the UEFA Champions League, the Lilywhites may partake in over 50 games next season. With international duty and only a few breaks in between games, Frank may need to rely on the academy players to bail him out.
As a result, the Dane may be more willing to give Kyerematen the chance to impress next season.
