Tottenham Hotspur fans may be focused on who the club could bring in this summer to boost their squad, but the club themselves are working hard on renewals.

Since the final day of the Premier League season, Tottenham have extended the contracts of Harry Winks, Kyle Walker-Peters and Cameron Carter-Vickers, ensuring that their homegrown talents stay with the club.

There is more work to be done though, as striker Reo Griffiths has yet to be signed to a professional deal, and Spurs may risk losing the teenager in the near future.

Griffiths, 17, has been a sensation for Tottenham’s Under-18’s this season, smashing 27 goals in just 20 outings to make himself known amongst Spurs fans.

The talented young striker looks set for a huge future, and ESPN recently reported that RB Leipzig are watching his contract situation in the hope of luring him to Germany.

Tottenham lost one talent to a Bundesliga club last week, as winger Keanan Bennetts chose to leave Spurs in order to sign for Borussia Monchengladbach, in what is becoming a real trend in England.

Jadon Sancho left Manchester City for Borussia Dortmund last summer, whilst Reece Oxford and Ademola Lookman spent time on loan with Gladbach and RB Leipzig respectively this season, with English talents clearly fancying their chances in Germany.

Tottenham now cannot afford to let Griffiths do the same, as losing one talent to the Bundesliga is bad enough, but losing two would be difficult to swallow for Spurs, with the prolific Griffiths no doubt a major priority.
