Tottenham are reportedly looking to complete two deals ahead of the January transfer window, with longest-serving player Ben Davies in line for a contract extension.
The defender has been with the club since 2014, but has found starts difficult to come by in the Premier League this season. He did however play the full 90 minutes of last week’s 4-0 win over Manchester City and was named in the lineup for a second league game in a row when Spurs hosted Fulham on Sunday.
As reported by football.london, Tottenham are ready to trigger an option to extend his current deal by another year. It means that he remain at the club until at least 2026.
The Mirror also report also says that Spurs are keen to tie Timo Werner down to a long-term deal with the club. The 28-year-old is currently on loan from Red Bull Leipzig, but Tottenham will pay just £8.5 million to make the deal permanent.
Werner has been in and out of Ange Postecoglou’s side in the Premier League this season, but provided an assist as a late substitute in the win over Man City. That has led to him being recalled to the team for the clash against Fulham with the German starting on the left of a front three.
Plans are already being put into place for the January transfer window at Tottenham with Postecoglou revealing that he has held a number of meetings with technical director Johan Lange over the window that opens in a month.
"We're always planning, planning for every scenario. A lot of it will depend on where we are as a squad at that time,” Postecoglou said ahead of Fulham.
"Between now and then, it is only really [Cristian] Romero and [Micky] Van de Ven who will be back in that time frame, but Richy (Richarlison) will hopefully be back in the new year and we will just assess where we are squad wise but certainly, with Johan [Lange] I've already had a number of meetings for a strategy in January.
"I think last year we did a little bit of business which ended up helping us, but nothing concrete now because January is always tricky and it depends on where we are squad-wise."
