Contracts and players situations at Spurs
Contracts and players situations at Spurs
 |
| Mauricio Pochettino will sit down with all the Spurs players individually |
Having discussed the Danny Rose situation, I thought it might be a good idea to talk about the contract situation in general.
First though, a reminder that under THBN Articles - Further Reading you can find stories on several players from the squad, discussing their situation and you'll find Popular Posts on the right-hand side.
There is plenty to delve into and enjoy.
OK, contracts, let's have a look at when they end. All contracts finish on 30 June and a new season starts on 1 July.

Tottenham Contracts
2025 Tanguy Ndombele
2024 Harry Kane, Davinson Sánchez, Dele Alli, Ben Davies, Harry Winks.
2023 Heung-min Son, Lucas Moura, Kyle Walker-Peters, Jack Clarke
2022 Erik Lamela, Hugo Lloris, Juan Foyth, Paulo Gazzaniga, Serge Aurier, Kieran Trippier.
2021 Eric Dier, Moussa Sissoko, Victor Wanyama, Danny Rose, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Josh Onomah, Georges-Kévin N'koudou, Oliver Skipp, Luke Amos
2020 Christian Eriksen, Victor Janssen, Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld, Marcus Edwards
Remember this is the 2019/20 season, so we have four players whose contracts expire at the end of the season, Christian Eriksen, Vincent Janssen, Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld, and Marcus Edwards.
Christian Eriksen wants to join Real Madrid, but we rate him higher than Real Madrid do, where he would be just another player. That means we are apart on valuations and that is still the major stumbling block to a deal.
We have discussed with and offered the Dane a new deal. Pochettino will sit down and discuss the situation with him and the club will discuss with his agent the next step for him. He could still stay, even though he has told the club he won't sign a new contract.
His agent is trying to apply pressure to us to lower his asking price but it isn't in our best interests to do so, we need to strengthen the squad and we need money to do it. We have around £150 million we are spending on players already, plus the Jack Clarke fee. The net spend figure needs to be lowered.
Vincent Janssen will only raise £6m (m - $m) which is the figure it would cost to keep him and if we can't sell him then we will want £2m I suspect as a loan fee.
Jan Vetonghen will be leaving next summer and Toby Alderweireld will either run down the final year of his contract and leave, sign a new 2-year deal (looking unlikely) or leave this summer, in which case we would want to buy Joachim Andersen as his replacement.
Marcus Edwards has been out on a successful loan spell and will have to prove to Pochettino in pre-season that he should be a part of Spurs future and thus be offered a new contract.
Until a new contract is signed he has to be available for other clubs to make offers, that doesn't mean he is actually on a transfer list as reported in the Daily Mail. Pochettino has yet to sit down with him and discuss the coming season.
Players with only a year left on their contracts lose value and there is always the danger of them leaving for free, which a club can't allow to happen too often, money isn't endless.
Thus players with two years left on their contract are at the point where they either sign a new deal or the club look to sell them. That is general in football, it is protection for the club and it protects the player's transfer value for the club.
If you look at who has two years remaining, Eric Dier, Moussa Sissoko, Victor Wanyama, Danny Rose, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Josh Onomah, Georges-Kévin N'koudou, Oliver Skipp, and Luke Amos, most are available for sale.
Harry Winks and Ben Davies have signed new contracts and they won't be the last players to sign new deals. Those Pochettino wants to keep will be offered extensions, like Danny Rose, but whether they sign them or not is another matter.
Anyone with two years remaining on their contract is, therefore, a player we will listen to offers for. Oliver Skipp can be excluded from that as he is a youngster progressing and he'll be with the first team squad again this season.
Luje Amos has been out for a long time with injury and has gone on loan to QPR for game time so will be assessed at the end of the season. Moussa Sissoko had his best season with the club and looks set to be offered a contract extension. That's my opinion though, rather than knowledge as Pochettino hasn't had his meeting with him yet.
Eric Dier we will listen to offers to and he will have to raise his game this season or his long-term future at the club may be in jeopardy next summer.
Victor Wanyama is available for sale, but whether we get a suitable offer for him is another matter. He could be gone, he could still be here come the close of the window.
We have to always be mindful of moving non-homegrown players on so we can bring new ones in. We can only name and play 17 in a Premier League squad. The details of that situation can be found in this post: Why Spurs Can't Sign Anyone.
Cameron Carter-Vickers, Josh Onomah, and Georges-Kévin N'koudou are all available for sale. A Championship club does have an agreement for Josh Onomah but I'd expect him to wait and see what other offers come in.
It is those players waiting to sort their futures that delay us going out and buying players other than the key men we are securing right now. We need to know what we have coming in to know what we can spend.
Of those with three years left on their contracts, Erik Lamela, Hugo Lloris, Juan Foyth, Paulo Gazzaniga, Serge Aurier, Kieran Trippier, three, possibly four we will listen to offers for.
Kieran Trippier we would like to replace, that will mean Serge Aurier staying, we won't move both right-backs in the same window, but we will listen to offers for both. We will also listen to offers for Erik Lamela although he is determined to stay at the club so it is a big year for him to prove himself. He has only had just over a season of decent form in a Spurs shirt.
Juan Foyth has had a brilliant Coppa America for Argentina and is bound to be offered a new contract and Hugo Lloris will undoubtedly be offered a deal as well.
That leaves our number two Paulo Gazzaniga. We are looking at English goalkeepers, both 33-year-old (34 next April) Tom Heaton and 27-year-old (28 next April) Nick Pope have been mentioned before. Both are on the books at Burnley and but Heaton only has a year left on his contract while Pope signed a new deal until 2023 with a one-year extension option on 24t May.
We are considering them and I would have thought they would be the third choice as opposed to replacing Paulo Gazzaniga. However, we have two goalkeepers who are non-homegrown and one of them doesn't play in the Premier League very often so it is possible we would look at having a homegrown backup keeper and letting Gazzaniga leave.
I don't know the situation there or whether Poch has decided 20-year-old (21 in October) Alfie Whiteman isn't up to the task of being the third choice. I guess that is another decision for pre-season.
Hopefully, that has clarified why you see stories in the press of transfer-listed players and players we will listen to offers to.
