Wrexham have been handed an audacious transfer boost as Tottenham star Ben Davies refused to commit his future to Spurs. The experienced Wales international, who has been a fixture at Spurs for over a decade, has acknowledged that decisions about his next move may soon be out of his hands.

Davies has been a stalwart at Tottenham since his arrival from Swansea City in 2014. Over the years, his dedication and adaptability have made him a trusted figure under several managerial regimes, from Mauricio Pochettino to Thomas Frank. Now in the twilight of his Spurs tenure, Davies finds himself in the final 11 months of his current deal. Although the club recently exercised their option to extend his contract for another season, the absence of long-term renewal talks suggests the possibility of a summer departure with Wrexham and Leeds United among the possible destinations.

Wrexham, currently on a rapid rise through the English football pyramid, are chasing a fourth consecutive promotion and are just a step away from realising their ultimate dream of playing in the English top flight. Backed by significant investment thanks to Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney and global exposure through their Disney+ documentary series, the Welsh club has lofty ambitions and acquiring a Premier League-calibre defender like Davies would be a major coup.
WHAT DAVIES SAID
While on pre-season duty with Spurs in Hong Kong, Davies was asked whether he expected to see out the final year of his contract. The 32-year-old said his current priority was to help Tottenham this season, but remained non-committal when asked directly about seeing through the full term.
"That one is not necessarily under my control. I reported for pre-season and I’m excited to be here," he told
"My focus is now on how I can help this club this year, and if something changes, I’m sure I will be picking up that phone call, but right now I don’t see anything else."
DID YOU KNOW?
Adding to the intrigue at Spurs is the status of Davies’ closest friend at the club, Son Heung-min. The South Korean superstar, who recently completed ten seasons with Tottenham, is also entering the final year of his contract. Like Davies, Son had his deal extended by the club earlier this year, but his long-term future remains in flux.
