Tottenham Hotspur have plenty of work to do in terms of their squad planning over the coming months, with six of their first-team players out of contract next summer, according to Transfermarkt.
Tottenham’s rebuild
The rebuild at Tottenham under Ange Postecoglou is well underway, with the current squad being extremely different to the one the Australian inherited when he arrived last year.
The squad is now one of the youngest in the Premier League and Postecoglou will hope to continue reshaping it over the coming windows as he aims to build a team that can compete on multiple fronts.
Soon-to-be out of contract
One thing that Postecoglou and the Tottenham hierarchy will be wary of is the fact that many of the current group will have to be replaced next summer as they are into the final year of their deals.
According to Transfermarkt, Ben Davies, Sergio Reguilon, Fraser Forster, Alfie Whiteman and Heung-min Son will all see their contracts run out next summer.
The same will be true of Timo Werner, who is only at Spurs on a 12-month loan and will return to RB Leipzig unless a permanent move is triggered.
Son option to extend
The most consequential of those names, by far, is Heung-min Son, but Tottenham will not be sweating over their captain’s future just yet.
That is because the club have the option to trigger a one-year extension in the South Korean’s deal and tie him down until 2026.
It has been reported widely over recent months that the Lilywhites will trigger that option before sitting down with Son regarding a long-term deal (The Athletic).
