KING HAPPY OVER NEW SPURS DEAL Tottenham Hotspur captain Ledley King would be happy to pledge his long-term future to the club, with things 'going in the right direction'.
The England defender headed his side into the lead during Saturday’s north London derby against Arsenal at White Hart Lane, and again drew much praise for his solid display.
King, 24, is contracted to Spurs until 2008 - a deal which he agreed only last summer.
However, after a string of impressive displays for both club and country - including as a holding midfielder for England in the crucial World Cup qualifier against Poland at the start of October - the Spurs skipper looks set for a lucrative new offer.
His advisors are currently in negotiations over improved terms, and King is happy to let those discussions continue while he maintains his focus on keeping up the standards which have helped lift Martin Jol’s men up to third in the Barclays Premiership.
“It’s between my agent and the club. I am just letting them get on with it and concentrating on my football,” he said.
“I’ve always said that if we are going in the right direction, I haven’t got a problem.”
King added in the London Evening Standard: “The lads have given us an indication of what we are capable of.
“We have a young squad and we have to keep going.
“The Champions League would be a bonus - you take it one game at a time and see where we can get.”
Sounds like this came from WRIGHTY's 'i heard yhis down the pub lastnight.com' website. We can all dream but in the end it will probably just turn out to be a load of bollox, and don't forget that CEntury is a dirty MANCSH!TE station. Wait 'til you here the press conferece on Radio City.
FAO of whoever started this thread............Why have you put parry says 'what money problems' in the title and not talked about it or said where the source is etc; FFS
As has already been said - we will not pay £17m for a player in the final year of his contract. Rafa and his scouts could get a better CB for that sort of money anyway.
