Tottenham Hotspur have already begun contract talks with another senior player after handing out extensions to Cristian Romero and Djed Spence.
While Tottenham are yet to officially sign anyone since securing Joao Palhinha on loan nearly three weeks ago, the last few days have been busy for Spurs in terms of tying down their existing stars.
Djed Spence has signed a new four-year contract, less than a year on from his last new deal, while new club captain Cristian Romero has also put pen to paper on an extension.
It has now emerged that another senior Spurs man, who is in the final year of his contract, may soon also be in line to get a new deal at the start of the Thomas Frank era.
Talks have begun over a new deal for Spurs midfielder
Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe has now revealed on the Last Word on Spurs podcast that Bentancur is next in line for an extension.
O’Keefe reveals that Thomas Frank is a big fan of the Uruguayan and that the wheels are already in motion over a new deal for the 28-year-old.
The same information has been backed by TBR Football, who say that Frank has been impressed by what he has seen of Bentancur so far and hopes that the midfielder renews his contract.

Tottenham have rejected an offer for Rodrigo Bentancur
It was reported earlier this week by a Turkish outlet that Fenerbache launched an offer of €15m (£13m) for Bentancur.
The report suggested that the bid was not enough to clinch the deal, alleging that Spurs were willing to sell the experienced midfielder for €25m (£21.6m).
However, these contract updates, along with the fact that Bentancur has been heavily involved so far this season, serve as confirmation that the former Juventus man will stay put at N17.
