Ben Davies does not believe there is anything to update about his future amid uncertainty over whether he will remain a Tottenham player next season. The Welshman's contract at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium expires at the end of this month, meaning he will be able to leave for nothing come July 1 if his situation does not change.

Last Saturday, Tottenham confirmed their released list as they get their plans in place for the 2025/26 campaign. The club announced that Fraser Forster, Sergio Reguilon and Alfie Whiteman will all depart following the conclusion of their contracts, with Timo Werner returning to parent club RB Leipzig after his loan spell in N17.

There was no mention of Davies given his current contract status, thus raising question marks about what comes next for the long-serving defender. Tottenham do have the option in the player's contract to extend it by a further 12 months if they so wish.

football.london reported in November that Spurs had decided to take up that one-year contract extension option, keeping him at the club for next campaign. However, Spurs have never officially confirmed a contract extension for the 32-year-old and that in turn has raised doubts about whether he will still be at the club come the start of July.

Championship newcomers Wrexham have been linked with the player and the same goes for Leeds United following their promotion to the Premier League. Amid the current speculation regarding his future, Davies is fully focused on representing Wales in their World Cup qualifiers against Liechtenstein and Belgium.

"I don’t think there is anything to update to be honest," said the Wales captain in a press conference (via Wales Online). "I don’t think I am going to be the person who is making any of those decisions, so as far as I’m concerned, it’s full focus here this week."

Davies was also quizzed on his Tottenham teammate Brennan Johnson and duly heaped praise on the club's top goalscorer. Amid criticism that came the winger's way at the start of the campaign, the ex-Nottingham Forest man finished the term by scoring the winning goal in the Europa League final against Manchester United.

“Brennan has shown this year that he is a top player and has proven a lot of people wrong," said Davies. “We’ve got full confidence in this Wales squad that he can replicate his form from the club here, he works hard, trains hard, we love having him around the place and I feel we have the best Brennan we can at the moment.”
