Leeds United eye move for Tottenham defender despite contract extension

Leeds United are looking to raid Tottenham this summer, with Ben Davies emerging as a potential surprise target despite only just signing a contract extension.

Leeds United are back in the English top flight following their 100-point title win in the Championship, a feat that helped them secure automatic promotion to the Premier League.

Daniel Farke’s side will be hoping to avoid the fate of the last promoted sides, who were all relegated last season after coming back up from England’s second division.

Of course, signing the right players would increase Leeds United’s chances, and they have now identified one Tottenham player as an option.

Leeds eye Tottenham defender Ben Davies after new contract
This report comes from journalist Alasdair Gold, who believes that Leeds United have been eyeing a move for Tottenham defender Ben Davies.

The Welshman is a player with experience in the Premier League, having spent 11 seasons in the English top flight, making 313 Premier League appearances in the process.

Davies only just signed a one-year contract extension with Tottenham, after the Lilywhites triggered the one-year clause in the Wales international’s current agreement, as he looked set to leave as a free agent later this month.
