OFFICIAL: Tottenham announce Ben Davies has signed a new contract until 2025

Ben Davies has penned a fresh three-year deal with Tottenham, which will take the Welshman beyond a decade at the club.

The 29-year-old defender, who arrived in north London from Swansea in 2014, will remain under contract until June 2025.

Davies racked up 43 appearances in 2021-22, his highest season total yet in a Spurs shirt, and impressed as part of Antonio Conte's back three in defence.

The Welshman lined up in the final 27 matches in all competitions, helping the club return to the Champions League with a fourth-placed Premier League finish.

In total, Davies has featured in 270 games for Spurs since his arrival, scoring six and assisting 22 from defence.

Although naturally a left-back, Conte chose to deploy Davies alongside Eric Dier and Cristian Romero on the left-hand side of his defensive three.

The Welsh international is likely to face extra competition this season after the arrival of Clement Lenglet, who joined on loan from Barcelona as a left-footed centre-half.

He will also be expected to forge a relationship with new summer signing Ivan Perisic on the left flank, who flourished under Conte during Inter Milan's title-winning campaign in 2020-21.

Conte's Spurs conceded just eight times during the final 14 league games of the season, a run which provided 10 wins and launched Tottenham into the top four ahead of rivals Arsenal.

Davies' contract extension caps an excellent window of business at the club, with Spurs having signed six new additions to strengthen the squad.

Everton star Richarlison joined for £60million and Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma arrived for £25m, while Djed Spence agreed on a £13m switch from Middlesbrough following a fruitful loan spell at Premier League newcomers Nottingham Forest.

Spurs have also added Perisic and Fraser Forster on free deals.

Tottenham:

We are delighted to announce that Ben Davies has signed a new contract with the Club which will run until 2025.

The Wales international defender has been a model of consistency since his arrival from Swansea City in the summer of 2014 and shone last season as we finished fourth in the Premier League to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

Indeed, Ben’s 43 appearances in all competitions last term - his eighth here - was his highest total yet for a season at Spurs, overtaking his 40 in 2018/19. He is now up to 271 appearances in all competitions and, with 58, in our top five all-time European appearance makers.

Captain on three occasions in 2021/22, the 29-year-old excelled on the left side of a central defensive three in Antonio Conte’s 3-4-3 system. Notably, he started 34 of 36 matches after Antonio’s arrival in November, including 26 of 27 Premier League games.

Ben lined-up in our last 27 matches in all competitions and in the most crucial part of the part of the season, was part of a defence that conceded just eight goals as we won 10 of our last 14 in the Premier League, finishing with three-successive cleans sheets as we clinched fourth on the final day. He also weighed in with a crucial equalising goal on our way to a 5-1 win against Newcastle in April.

Capped 74 times by his country, Ben - alongside team-mate Joe Rodon - played a huge part as Wales overcame Ukraine in a play-off in June to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1958.
