Tottenham Hotspur are getting ready to offer Eric Dier and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg new contracts in the coming weeks.
The Daily Mail report that Antonio Conte and Harry Kane are not the only key Tottenham men in line for new deals as a report claims Eric Dier and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg will get fresh terms too.
Both Conte and Kane are facing uncertain futures at Tottenham. Conte’s contract expires at the end of the season and Juventus are reportedly hoping to reunite with their former manager
The Italian seems content at Tottenham and his long-term transfer demands suggest he will stay in north London for the next few years.
And according to 90Min, Spurs director of football Fabio Paratici is ‘confident’ about Kane extending his contract.
Dier and Hojbjerg set for talks over new contracts.
Dier has been the central sweeper in Conte’s back three and his performances have got him back in the England picture ahead of the World Cup.
Conte on rotating Eric Dier (@Football_LDN) 🇮🇹🎙️:
"There are certain roles that are very difficult to make rotation. The centre back in the middle is very difficult. It's a specific role.

The 28-year-old is now set to be rewarded for his return to form with a new contract. The new terms will also prevent Dier from considering a move elsewhere. Like Kane, his contract expires in summer 2024.
Hojbjerg’s contract is less pressing than Conte, Kane or Dier’s. His deal lasts until June 2025.
However, the Dane has been one of Spurs’ top performers this season – contributing to six goals and is one of the first names on the team sheet under Conte.
.@Mrjamieohara1 on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg:
“I watch him play a lot and I think he’s fantastic. Yes, he gets in Liverpool’s midfield. He gets in Manchester United’s midfield
“Top six then. For me, he’s one of the best midfielders in the country.

His energy and bite have made him a vital part of Tottenham’s engine room and his absence was keenly felt in Sunday’s 2-1 loss to Newcastle.
