Sometimes, getting players to sign new deals can be just as important as signing a new player entirely. Here, we take a look at five Spurs stars who need new contracts signed as soon as possible.

Heung-min Son

Out of all possible new contracts at Spurs, this one is a no-brainer. The Spurs captain’s current contract expires at the end of the season, and while the club does have the option to trigger an automatic one-year extension, it would be far wiser to secure Heung-min Son into a new agreement that would take him to the end of the career.

Son is still the most important and influential player in the squad at Tottenham, and with the legacy he has built at the club over the last ten years, he more than deserves to stay for as long as he wants. Plus, getting him locked in for the rest of his playing days would delight the fans, too.

Ben Davies

While Ben Davies may not be a regular fixture in the starting XI these days, he has proven time and time again that he is a dependable and valuable member of the wider squad. His experience and versatility are hugely beneficial, and he knows how to get us through the more high-stakes games that some of the younger players aren’t used to.

Davies’ current contract expires at the end of the season. Giving him a new deal would be a really sound investment for the future, not just in terms of what he offers on the pitch, but what he can do for Spurs after he retires. Make no mistake, Davies will be a top manager one day, and we would do well to integrate him into the coaching staff at Spurs as soon as we can. He definitely deserves one of the new contracts at Spurs.

Yves Bissouma

He’s had his ups and downs in his time at Spurs, but Yves Bissouma is arguably the best central midfielder in the squad on his day. Calm, composed, strong, and possessing the ability to drive forward with the ball, the Mali international is the epitome of what Ange Postecoglou wants in a midfielder.

His contract expires in 2026, and though he will be pushing 30-years-old by that point, he’s a player Spurs will want to keep around for another year or two after that.

Cristian Romero

Cristian Romero‘s current deal doesn’t come to an end until 2027, but with Real Madrid sniffing around, it would not hurt to get him on new terms as soon as possible.

The vice-captain is one of the highest-paid players at the club already, but bumping that up a little would certainly keep Romero happy, and extending his contract would potentially be enough to deter other clubs from trying to make an approach.

Dejan Kulusevski

There is no Tottenham player in better form right now than Dejan Kulusevski. Since moving inside and playing as more of a central playmaker rather than a winger, the Swedish star has been able to dictate the game far better. He’s making Spurs tick, and he is absolutely essential to this team now.

Kulusevski still has a while left on his contract — it doesn’t expire until the summer of 2028 — but if he keeps up this level of performance, he will not only deserve a new deal, but it would also help to stave off any interest from outside parties. He will be more in demand than ever next summer, so needs one of these top five new contracts at Spurs.
