Davies has been a model of consistency since his arrival from Swansea City in the summer of 2014 and shone last season as Spurs finished fourth in the Premier League to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
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 the Spurs’ 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.
Davies lined-up in the club’s 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 they won 10 of their last 14 in the Premier League, finishing with three-successive cleans sheets as they clinched fourth on the final day. He also weighed in with a crucial equalising goal on their way to a 5-1 win against Newcastle in April.
