Ben Davies: Tottenham contract situation as relegation could actually prove good news
Tottenham Hotspur stalwart Ben Davies is edging towards the end of his contract in North London.
The Wales international hasn’t featured for the Lilywhites since mid-January but was forced off after 19 minutes against West Ham.
He has since missed every fixture in North London due to his ankle injury and looks unlikely to feature until April at the earliest.
His absence certainly hasn’t helped as Spurs face the potential of relegation with just months remaining of the Premier League season.
Davies faces an uncertain future at Tottenham due to his contract, as Tottenham News assesses the terms of his current deal.

What is Ben Davies’ contract situation at Tottenham?
The Welshman has hardly been a regular starter in N17 over recent years, but he certainly has a positive impact in the dressing room.
There are many players who are utilised for that purpose as much as their footballing ability, and it feels like Davies is one of those.

He has been at White Heart Lane for 12 years now and has seen it all, from a Champions League final to the horror show currently unfolding.
The defender is well-liked down Hotspur Way, but could still be on his way out when this campaign finally comes to an end.
Davies’ contract expires in the summer after the Lilywhites triggered a one-year extension in his contract before the current campaign.
He is reportedly earning £80,000 per week in North London, equating to £4.1million for a bit-part player.
Davies could soon be on the way out of Tottenham, but that could all depend on what league the N17 club find themselves in next season.
Will Davies leave Tottenham in the summer?
The former Swansea City man will obviously be hoping that his side doesn’t face a drop to the Championship this campaign.
If relegation is avoided, it could ironically mark the end of the road for Davies, as a mass overhaul feels necessary at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
His future could be saved if the worst-case scenario happens and Tottenham are relegated from the Premier League.
If that happens, keeping Davies around could prove to be wise given his wealth of experience, but it would sum up the state of the N17 club.
There are plenty of factors that could impact his future, but a decision remains up in the air at this stage.
Summer Focus: Survival contingent
