Winks, Davies ink new Tottenham deals

England midfielder Winks, 23, came through the English Premier League club's academy before cementing his place in the first-team squad.

Winks made 41 appearances in all competitions last season, having recovered from his own groin surgery during April to play in the European Champions League final defeat against Liverpool.

"I have been at the club since I was five so when I got the opportunity to sign a new contract, it was a no-brainer," the midfielder said on Monday.

"It's a contract, like Ben, I have worked hard for. It's been a great season last year so to sign a new contract, I am delighted, I'm really happy."

Wales defender Davies, 26, joined Spurs from Swansea during July 2014 and has made 168 appearances, scoring four times.

Davies had groin surgery last month as he looks to get himself fit again ahead of the new season.

"I am obviously delighted to sign here for the next five years," Davies said.

"It is one that I have worked really hard for, to put myself in the position to stay at this club for the next few years, and I am delighted to be here."

Earlier on Monday, the club confirmed former midfielder Ryan Mason had been appointed coach of the under-19 UEFA Youth League side.

Mason was forced to retire at the age of 26 after failing to recover from the fractured skull he suffered while playing for Hull during January 2017.

The midfielder, who earned a senior England cap in 2015, had been involved in a clash of heads with Chelsea defender Gary Cahill at Stamford Bridge.

In February last year, Mason confirmed following specialist medical advice he would be unable to return to playing, but has since made steps towards obtaining his coaching badges while working within Tottenham's academy set-up.

The Premier League club confirmed on Monday that the 28-year-old, who left Spurs to join Hull in August 2016, would now become part of the full-time staff following changes to the coaching structure.
