Tottenham accelerates contract negotiations with central midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur.
"Tottenham Hotspur plan to accelerate contract talks with midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur…" manager Thomas Frank is impressed with Bentancur and wants to reward him with a new contract, according to the British newspaper TBR Football on the 10th (Korea Standard Time).
Alan Shearer, previously called English Premier League (EPL) Legend, evaluated Bentancourt as dominating the match against Manchester City on the 23rd of last month along with João Palinha and Pape Matar Sarr.
Bentancourt joined Tottenham for 21 million pounds (about 39 billion won) and is quickly becoming a key player, playing in all four games under Frank. Manager Frank has made it clear that Bentancourt is a key player in his plan, so Tottenham's leadership is focused on negotiating re-signing.
With the summer transfer window closed, Tottenham hope to accelerate negotiations and complete the contract by January. Bentancourt and Tottenham's current contract is less than 12 months away, so it is urgent to reach an agreement as soon as possible.
After Son Heung-min left for the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS), Bentancourt was also pointed out as a captain. However, Frank chose Christian Romero as captain. Romero has also recently re-signed with Tottenham, which shows the club is moving in a positive direction under Frank.
Tottenham have promising midfield resources including Lucas Beribal, Sarr and Archie Gray. Until they grow further, Bentancourt should play a role in protecting the midfield.
The media argued that `It would be very helpful for coach Frank and the coaching staff to have experienced players like Bentancourt and Palinha lead promising players like Sarr.'
