Is it really the right choice for Tottenham to re-sign Rodrigo Bentancourt.

Team Talk in England raised questions about Tottenham's choice in the process of signing Bentancourt's contract on the 14th (Korea time).

The media reported that Bentancur was Tottenham's best central midfielder before the anterior cruciate ligament injury. He dominated the game with a box-to-box type and was a committed player. But he is struggling to get close to that level, only occasionally showing his past. For the 28-year-old, Tottenham are likely to offer a three- to four-year contract, but he has not shown a steady performance since suffering a serious injury against Leicester City in February 2023.




Team Talk also predicted that Bentancourt would become increasingly difficult to secure a starting position at Tottenham if his performance is what it is now. João Palinha, who was hired on loan, is almost certainly expected to be fully recruited, and given Archie Gray's potential, Bentancourt's defensive midfielder position is no longer an option. In a more advanced position, Tottenham manager Thomas Frank wants speed, energy and strong pressure. This is where Bentancourt shows no strength. Pape Matar Sarr and Lucas Beribal have enough of these qualities, and now they are 23 and 19 years old, he believes Bentancur will gradually give way to the young players.

Therefore, the media reports 'By the middle of the season, Bentancourt may have more time on the bench unless he can return to pre-injury levels. In this regard, it is almost a gamble for Tottenham to give Bentancur a new contract and include him in the list of high-paid players.

Bentancourt, who joined through the 2022 winter transfer market, immediately became the center of Tottenham, but suffered a cruciate ligament rupture. After returning from injury, he is helping the team by starting and replacing. As Team Talk claims, it is also true that Bentancur does not show his performance before the cruciate ligament injury.

Bentancourt's contract with Tottenham expires after this season. Bentancourt will of course want a good salary and a multi-year contract as he is nearing the end of his career. However, with Beribal, Sar and Gray growing rapidly, renewing their contracts with Bentancourt on good terms is a concern for Tottenham. This is because Bentancourt is not the core of Tottenham right now.

First of all, Frank re-signed Bentancur, saying, `First of all, I'm very happy with Rodri. He's a great player for us, and he's the best professional in every way. I'm happy to be with him, and he's happy to be here, too. Let's wait and see what happens in the future," he said.

Meanwhile, Bentancourt has been controversial in the past for racist remarks against Son Heung-min. Bentancourt apologized directly to Son Heung-min, and Son Heung-min forgave him, but the England Football Association punished Bentancourt with heavy punishment.
