Tottenham fans will be hoping that the club have a few more contract announcements in the pipeline after Alfie Whiteman extended his stay in N17. Always set to be a key year for the player with his previous deal set to expire this summer, the shot-stopper has inked fresh terms until the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
Having already made a decision over Lucas Moura's future with the attacker set to depart at the end of this season after five years in north London, Fabio Paratici and Daniel Levy have more to do over the coming weeks and months with a number of players now in the final 18 months of their respective deals.
So what are the pressing contract priorities for Tottenham going forward? football.london takes a look.

Harry Kane
There is one deal all connected with Tottenham will be praying gets done as soon as possible and that is Kane penning a contract extension. Signing a bumper six-year deal in 2018, Spurs' main man is now in the last 18 months of his deal.
Constantly linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium due to his incredible record in front of goal and the team's struggles to win silverware, talk of an exit for the 29-year-old is only going to get louder the longer he goes without signing a new deal.
Manchester United have been linked with a move for the player this summer, while Antonio Conte's Tottenham future has also been mentioned as a possible factor for Kane signing a new deal or not.
Speaking after January's 1-0 win over Fulham, the Spurs frontman opened up on his future and stated that there would be "conversations over the coming months".
"There's not been much talk if I'm totally honest. I'm sure there'll be conversations over the coming months but to be honest I'm just focused on this season and doing my best for the team," explained the striker.
"There's still a lot to play for, trying to get in the Champions League, we have the FA Cup and the Champions League still to try to win. My focus is on that. I know there's going to be rumours, a lot of talk and speculation about my future but I'm just focused on what I can do."
It is undoubtedly Tottenham's No.1 contract priority and ideally for everyone's sake, it needs to be put to bed sooner rather than later.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg
Hojbjerg has become a key cog in the Tottenham team ever since joining from Southampton in the summer of 2020. Perhaps seen by some as the midfielder most likely to drop out of team in 2022/23 following the addition of Yves Bissouma from Brighton & Hove Albion, the Dane has gone from strength to strength and made a vital contribution in the final third this campaign.
That was evident last Sunday as he dissected the West Ham backline with a stunning pass which led to Emerson Royal's opener. While he didn't get an assist on that occasion, he has set up five goals this term and also netted five for himself.
With just over two years left on his current deal, Tottenham might want to offer him a contract extension and tie him down for the long-term future. Currently 27 years of age, Hojbjerg can be a valuable member of the Tottenham squad for years to come.
Son Heung-min
Another player in the same boat as Hojbjerg is Son, as his Tottenham contract expires in the summer of 2025. Such a vital player for the club in his eight years in north London, the South Korean international last signed a new deal two years ago as he penned a four-year contract.
The player will be 32 by the time that contract expires but he can still have a big impact for the team beyond 2025 if Tottenham want to extend his stay in the capital. Perhaps not an immediate priority with Kane's future very much top of the list, it is something they may want to take a look at rather soon as adding another year or two on his contract will ensure his valuation doesn't start to decrease.
Eric Dier
Tottenham will look to add to their backline this summer as they look to take it to the next level. That could potentially impact Dier when it comes to the starting XI as the long-serving defender has been Conte's preferred choice in the central role in his back three during his Tottenham reign.
Even if the England centre-back does find himself on the bench watching on, he would still be a very important player to have in the squad and minutes would come his way with Spurs looking set to battle on four fronts again. Dier is out of contract next summer but a new deal would see him surpass a decade at the club.
and finally....
Moving away from the players, question marks still surround Conte and whether he will still be in charge of the team come August. The Italian has yet to commit his future beyond the end of the current campaign and speculation will only rumble on until a final decision is made one way or another.
Spurs could do with knowing sooner rather than later so that they can get their plans in place for 2023/24.
