Tottenham defender Ben Davies could be heading for a surprise move this summer, with talks now underway between the experienced Welshman and Wrexham, who are pushing for an ambitious swoop as he nears free agency.
Ben Davies’ future is up in the air with his contract set to run out at the end of June. The 32-year-old has not been offered fresh terms as of yet, raising the prospect that he may have already played his final game for the club.
Should Tottenham choose not to extend his stay, Davies would walk away on a free transfer after more than a decade of service in north London.
That scenario is very much on the cards, although internal discussions regarding Davies’ future are still believed to be ongoing.
It was reported earlier this week that Tottenham are considering handing Ben Davies a 12-month extension, but as things stand, no decision has been reached, leaving the Welshman free to weigh up options ahead of the summer window.
Wrexham open talks to sign Tottenham defender Ben Davies
A fresh report from Football Insider has now revealed that Ben Davies is attracting interest from the Championship, with Wrexham moving early to try and secure his signature.
The ambitious Championship club have opened talks with the player ahead of his contract expiry on June 30, and are actively working on a deal to bring the Spurs man to Wales, as they look to secure promotion to England’s top flight.
Although Wrexham have made the first move, they are not alone in the race for Davies, with several clubs expected to make approaches should he become a free agent.
Leeds United monitoring Spurs defender Ben Davies
It has also been revealed that Ben Davies is expected to assess multiple offers before deciding on his next move, with Leeds United also keeping a close eye on developments.
The newly-promoted Premier League side has maintained a long-standing interest in the defender, having considered a move in the January window before ultimately holding back.
Daniel Farke’s side are now prepared to reignite that interest, especially if Davies becomes available without a transfer fee, and could provide a top-flight alternative to the Wrexham project.
