Dele Alli is set to be handed a new contract after making a spectacular start to his career at Tottenham.
The 19-year-old midfielder earns about £10,000-per-week and can expect to see that figure at least doubled as Spurs move to reward their player for his outstanding form.
Tottenham have a record of improving the terms of players who perform well.
Since July 2014, Harry Kane has signed two new deals, elevating his salary dramatically to about £50,000 a week.
Kane’s latest agreement ties him to Spurs until the summer of 2020 and he is likely to be offered another fresh contract at the end of the campaign, moving him into line with the club’s top earners.
In the current first-team squad, Erik Lamela, Hugo Lloris and Mousa Dembele are thought to be at the top of the tree, collecting between £70,000-80,000 a week.
Before he moved to Real Madrid for a world-record £86 million in the summer of 2013, Gareth Bale signed new contracts with the club in May 2010, March 2011 and June 2012.
When Alli signed for Spurs from Milton Keynes Dons one year ago, he was given a five-and-a-half-year contract. Any new deal is likely to run until the summer of 2021.
Alli’s impact at White Hart Lane has been remarkable.
He was initially loaned back to MK Dons for the second half of last season and when he linked up permanently with Spurs ahead of this season, he was not expected to become a first-team regular immediately.
