Former Tottenham Hotspur captain Gary Mabbutt has expressed his desire for defender Ben Davies to remain with the club following their successful battle to avoid relegation.
The 33-year-old Wales international faces an expiring contract next month, and his future remains uncertain after he missed the latter half of the season due to a severe ankle injury sustained in January.
Mabbutt praised Davies as a reliable professional who has served the club for over a decade, amassing more than 350 appearances since his arrival from Swansea City.
The club legend suggested that even if a full-time playing role is not the immediate path, finding a way to keep him at the organization is vital.
While Tottenham previously extended his deal for the 2025-26 campaign, current reports regarding his status remain quiet, especially as rumors circulate about a potential pursuit of free agent Andy Robertson.
Reflecting on the team’s narrow survival after a final-day win against Everton, Mabbutt emphasized that the squad requires substantial changes to match the club’s high ambitions.
He urged leadership to pursue high-quality signings to elevate their performance, noting that recent seasons have failed to reflect the standard expected by the club’s supporters.
