Tottenham Hotspur must get talks going with several first team stars if they hope to keep them in North London next season.

It's all eyes on Tottenham Hotspur at the moment with Ange Postecoglou facing critics for his tactics in North London after a stuttering start to the season.

Spurs invested heavily during the summer window with Dominic Solanke, Alfie Gray and Wilson Odobert all coming in for sizeable fees. However, recent form has pointed to a potential need for further spending come January.

As well as transfers, the club must think about the contracts of current players who risk leaving as free agents at the end of the campaign. LondonWorld looks at who those six first team stars are.

Son Heung-min

Spurs are reported to have a one-year extension clause in their star man's contract but there are no confirmed reports of that having been triggered as of yet. In November, The Mirror reported that the South Korea international was hoping to stay at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but is in favour of a new deal rather than simply having the existing clause activated.

Speaking in September, the player said: "We haven't talked about anything yet. It is very clear from me. I am very focused on this season.

"At this age, every second is like a goal, especially this season, we are in a lot of competitions, it feels like I am taking even more care about this. As I say, I am fully focused on this year and just want to win something that everybody at the club - the players, all around - deserves.

"That's what I'm working for. In the future you never know what will happen, but I will give everything for this club because it's been almost 10 years and I give everything. I still have a contract with the club which is the very important thing and I just want to give everything until my contract [expires]."

Sergio Reguilon

The 27-year-old has become somewhat of a forgotten man having not played at all this season. Reguilon spent last season on loan with Premier League rivals Manchester United and Brentford.

Given his involvement, it would be somewhat of a surprise to see the former Real Madrid man awarded a new deal in North London. The player signed a five-year contract in 2020 but there is talk of a potential contract termination before that date to allow him to seek a new venture as a free agent, according to The Sunday Mirror.

Ben Davies

The Welsh international has racked up 341 appearances for Spurs but has struggled for Premier League minutes this season. He remains an important squad player and has been a regular in the Europa League.

The 31-year-old signed a contract extension with the club in 2022, which is due to expire next summer. The club holds the option for another 12 months and are expected to use that.

Fraser Forster

The goalkeeper has found himself in the spotlight all of a sudden this season after the injury to Guglielmo Vicario. It's become somewhat of an audition for the veteran, who signed an extension in December 2023 that expires next year.

Speaking at the time, the former Celtic and Southampton man said: "I have loved my time here so far and I delighted to extend that. It is fantastic working for a new manager. Everyone loves him. You can see what we are producing and it is great to be a part of that."

Alfie Whitman

The 26-year-old is yet to play this season but has featured on the bench for a couple of the more recent Europa League fixtures. Whitman only has one first team appearance to his name for Spurs, coming in a 2020 Europa League match against Ludogrets - which the side won 4-0. The goalkeeper extended his contract with the club in February 2023, signing on until 2025.

Timo Werner

Tottenham Hotspur agreed a deal with Bundesliga side RB Leipzig in May to extend Werner's loan another season, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2024/25 campaign. The forward first arrived at the club in January and Spurs did hold the option to make his move permanent for £15 million over the summer - that option is still there for next year, but is now lowered to £8.5 million.
