Tottenham ‘delighted’ as midfielder officially agrees terms at Hotspur Way
Tottenham look set for a summer of change in midfield, although it appears one player won’t be going anywhere after committing his future to the club.
Spurs have plenty of midfielders on their books in North London.
James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall and even Dejan Kulusevski can operate in a more advanced midfield position, while Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr play further back.
Archie Gray, who has spent much of this season playing across the back-four, is also a midfielder by trade. However, not all of these players are likely to remain with the club next season.
Bentancur is subject to interest from Atletico Madrid, and with one year left on the 27-year-old’s deal this summer, Spurs will have a decision to make.
Meanwhile, Yves Bissouma could quit Tottenham in the summer transfer window, with the Mali international’s contract also set to expire at the end of next season.
However, it looks as though Daniel Levy and Tottenham are already planning for the future after one young midfielder put pen to paper at Hotspur Way.

Spurs have been working hard to tie down some of their talented youngsters in recent weeks, with the club announcing on Tuesday (25 March) that goalkeeper Sam Archer had signed his first professional contract with Tottenham.
Just days prior, on Thursday, 20 March, Malachi Hardy also signed a professional contract with Tottenham, and another Under-18s player has now become the latest to put pen to paper at Hotspur Way.

Spurs announced via Spurs_Academy on X on Thursday (27 March) that they were “delighted” to confirm that 17-year-old Jamel Beggs has signed his first professional contract with Tottenham.
Beggs joined Tottenham at the age of seven and has since risen through the ranks in the academy, with the central midfielder featuring regularly for the Under-18s this season.
Beggs one for the future at Tottenham
Spurs have a lot of talented young players in North London.
Beggs appears to be the latest emerging through the academy, and supporters will be excited to hopefully catch a glimpse of the youngster in the coming months now that he has signed a professional deal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
