Rodrigo Bentancur has set his sights on winning more trophies with Tottenham Hotspur after signing a new long-term contract with the club. The midfielder had entered the final 12 months of his previous deal, but Spurs had made renewing the Uruguayan’s terms a top priority.
Bentancur has made 122 appearances for Tottenham since joining from Juventus three-years ago, and played a key role in the club’s Europa League success last season. And after putting pen-to-paper on a new deal, Bentancur admitted: “I feel really good and I’m very happy to continue my story with this fantastic club.
“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.”
Reacting to the deal, Spurs head coach 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.”
