Tottenham rookie defender Japhet Tanganga is in talks over a staggering 1500 percent pay rise following his first-team breakthrough, according to Mail.
There was a degree of negativity over the 20-year-old signing fresh terms when discussions initially started towards the end of last year - but his recent emergence as a key member of Jose Mourinho's first-team has resulted in Tottenham accelerating talks.
And there is now growing hope Tanganga will pen a new long-term deal in the not too distant future.
The youngster currently earns a basic wage in the region of £1,000-per-week, but Spurs are offering him a huge pay-rise which would take his salary to around £15,000-per-week.
That figure would also be topped up by a lucrative incentive package that would see his deal move closer towards £20,000-per-week.
There will also be a promise of another new contract and pay rise should he make a certain number of first-team appearances.
Mourinho handed Tanganga a shock Premier League debut in January - starting the versatile defender in the 1-0 loss to Liverpool.
Tanganga has started in all but one of Tottenham's proceeding fixtures, firmly establishing himself as one Mourinho's first-team players.
Tanganga, who has represented England at Under 20 level, is now set for an Under-21 call-up for the games against Andorra and Turkey in March.
