Vorm recently signed a Spurs extension to keep him at the club until the end of the season.

Michel Vorm has told De Telegraaf that he is hopeful of earning a new contract at Tottenham Hotspur to keep him with the north London club beyond the end of the season.

The 35-year-old signed an extension earlier this year to keep him at Spurs until the end of the 2018-19 season, but from then on in he will be available on a free transfer.

With his current contract set to expire in June, non-English clubs can approach the former Swansea City stopper under the Bosman ruling to land him on a pre-contract basis from January 1. Spotrac claim he currently earns £62,000 a week.

But Vorm hinted at wanting to stay with Mauricio Pochettino’s side beyond his current contract’s expiry date, claiming he has “a good few years” left before hanging up then gloves.

“I think I have a few good years for myself. My contract expires after this season. Then we see how it goes,” Vorm said.

Vorm is one of three options Pochettino could choose to play in goal on Tuesday night, as Spurs play host to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League at Wembley in what is a must-win match.

Spurs have picked up just one point from a possible nine in Europe, leaving their hopes of qualification in tatters. If they are to stand any chance, they must win all three games including tonight’s encounter.

Hugo Lloris is suspended after being sent off in the reverse fixture, and Pochettino has included Vorm, Paulo Gazzaniga and Alfie Whiteman in his squad to face PSV.
