The Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur news and links for Tuesday, January 6

I don’t have a lot for you in the present day. It’s fairly late right here and I bought to get the hoddle accomplished.

We spent quite a lot of time yesterday bemoaning all issues Tottenham (which I don’t disagree with – when you may forgive the double adverse). However we didn’t spend an entire lot of time on Ben Davies.

For me, Davies is the final remaining hyperlink between the earlier technology of Tottenham and the brand new. He’s gone by way of far too many managers (Pochettino, Mourinho, Mason, Nuno, Conte, Stellini, Mason, Ange, Frank), and been an incredible participant underneath each single one among them.

So I used to be fairly thrilled when he scored on Sunday, even when it was a easy deflection off Micky van de Ven’s effort.

These subsequent 5 or so months might be the final we see of Davies at Tottenham. Spurs triggered a one-year extension on his contract final yr, which brings his end-date to the conclusion of the 2025-26 marketing campaign. Up to now there’s been no reporting on Davies’s future after this season.

Who is aware of what the long run holds for him after his contract is up. Wherever it leads, I hope it leads him again to Tottenham (or perhaps he by no means leaves).
