Tottenham will listen to offers for defender Ben Davies this summer regardless of the identity of their next manager, sources have told Football Insider.

The Wales international, 30, has two years remaining on his Lilywhites contract.

However, Spurs recognise they need a huge overhaul of the core of the side which has performed so poorly this term.

The north London outfit sit eighth in the table after a dismal 2022-23 campaign, with the club's defensive performances coming in for particular criticism.

A well-placed source has told Football Insider that Tottenham are likely to cash in if they receive a £15million offer for Davies in the summer window.

He has been a key player during the 2022-23 campaign, making 25 Premier League starts amid 39 appearances across all competitions.

The vast majority of those outings have come as a centre-back, despite Davies' proficiency in a left-back role.

He has recently taken up a full-back berth under the interim management of Ryan Mason, who has lined Spurs up with a four-man defence.

Davies joined Tottenham from Swansea City in 2014, signing an initial five-year contract.

His most recent bumper extension was signed last summer (2022), with his current deal earning him a reported wage of £80,000-a-week.

The 77-cap Wales international has made 310 total appearances for Tottenham, notching eight goals and 24 assists.

He could play his final match for the club on the final day of the season this Sunday (28 May) - an away clash with relegation-threatened Leeds United.

Tottenham's manager search has been blown wide open this week, with Arne Slot publicly pledging his allegiance to Feyenoord after well-documented interest from Spurs.
