Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has signed a long-term contract extension with the club, Afrosport reports.
The Uruguay international joined Spurs from Juventus in January 2022 and has made 122 appearances in all competitions, scoring nine goals and providing eight assists, and winning the Europa League last season.
Bentancur’s time in North London has been blighted by multiple injury problems which has seen him out of action for a combined 392 days. Regardless, he is willing to continue with the club.
“I feel really good and I’m very happy to continue my story with this fantastic club,” he told the club website.
“My family are happy; I have fantastic friends and team-mates who work hard every day. I love this club and feel really good here.
“Winning the Europa League was a fantastic moment and we want to build on this now, to win more trophies.
“We have a new head coach , a new captain and I want to enjoy many more years at the club.”

Meanwhile, Tottenham manager Thomas Frank said: “I’m extremely happy that Rodrigo has committed his future to the club.
“It shows his belief in what we are building here and that we are starting a journey which we hope will be really special.
“Rodri is a big part of that. He’s a fantastic midfielder who can dictate games and be the glue that holds the team together. He also has the ability to arrive in the penalty area, create goals and score them, too.”
Tottenham will take on newly-promoted Leeds United at Elland Road in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
