Tottenham has yet to extend Ben Davies' contract.
Davis is currently the longest-serving player at Tottenham. Davis moved to Tottenham from Swansea City ahead of the 2014-2015 season. After playing with Ki Sung-yueng, he moved to Tottenham and became Son Heung-min's friend a year later.
Davis has never played as a main player in a single season except for the 2017-2018 season after moving to Tottenham. As a rotation left-back, he even took charge of the center back and was a player who took charge of bad things in the team. Although he did not boast his great skills on the field, he helped Tottenham's defense a lot by showing smart soccer intelligence.
Davis has been playing for Tottenham for more than a decade and has become the closest to Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min has several friends he made at Tottenham, but he is not as close to Son Heung-min as Davis. Davis has a special affection for Son Heung-min to the extent that he used Son Heung-min as his son's godfather. Son Heung-min was also the player who wrote a tribute to Davis on the 10th anniversary of his playing for Tottenham.
However, the friendship between the two players at Tottenham is on the verge of splitting three months later. This is because Tottenham is not extending Davis' contract.
According to the original reports of leading media outlets, Davis' contract was planned to be extended by one year like Son Heung-min. England's The Athletic said in November last year that `Tottenham plans to activate Davis' one-year extension to keep him at the club next season. Davies' contract will be finalized this season, his 11th season at Tottenham, but Tottenham also plans to have a player in the 2025-2026 season." There were also reports on Son Heung-min's contract extension.
Son Heung-min's contract was officially extended in January. Unlike Son Heung-min, Davis' news is quiet. It's a completely different situation than expected. With the rapid growth of Jed Spence, several defensive prospects are suddenly expected to let Davis go.
Davis is actually currently connected to another club. European transfer market expert Ben Jacobs said in a British team talk on the 17th that "Liz plans to strengthen his defense in the summer, and Tottenham's center back Davis remains on the candidate list. Sources say Tottenham's experienced Davies is respected by Leeds. The reason is that Davis can play at centre-back and left-back, which is even more appreciated given the uncertainty surrounding Junio Firpo."
If Davis leaves, a great sense of loss is expected because Son Heung-min has nothing to rely on mentally.
