Tottenham Extend Ben Davies for One Year as Retained List Confirms Multiple Exits

The one‑year deal keeps a 13‑year club servant in place to shore up dressing‑room leadership as his readiness to play at the start of 2026/27 remains unclear.

Overview

  • Tottenham announced on Wednesday that Ben Davies has signed a 12‑month contract extension to remain at the club for a 13th season.
  • Davies missed most of 2025/26 after a serious ankle injury in mid‑January that required surgery and limited him to only a handful of appearances earlier in the campaign.
  • Manager Roberto De Zerbi publicly praised Davies for his off‑field role during the late‑season revival that preserved Spurs’ Premier League status.
  • The club’s retained list published the same day confirmed several departures, including Yves Bissouma leaving when his contract expires on June 30.
  • Tottenham describe Davies as valuable for leadership, but his fitness for the new season is uncertain and suggestions that he will move into a coaching or non‑playing role are unconfirmed and speculative.
