Long-term contracts for Davies and Winks

-

Defender Ben Davies and midfielder Harry Winks have both signed new five-year contracts with Tottenham.

Wales defender Davies, 26, joined Spurs from Swansea during July 2014 and has made 168 appearance­s, scoring four times. England midfielder Winks, 23, came through the Tottenham academy before cementing his place in the first-team squad. Davies had groin surgery last month as he looks to get himself fit again ahead of the new season.

“I am obviously delighted to sign here for the next five years,” Davies told Tottenham’s website. “It is one that I have worked really hard for, to put myself in the position to stay at this club for the next few years, and I am delighted to be here.”

Winks made 41 appearance­s in all competitio­ns last season, having recovered from his own groin surgery during April to play in the Champions League final defeat against Liverpool.

“I have been at the club since I was five so when I got the opportunit­y to sign a new contract, it was a no-brainer,” the midfielder said.

“It’s a contract, like Ben, I have worked hard for. It’s been a great season last year so to sign a new contract, I am delighted, I’m really happy.”
