Ange Postecoglou should be spoilt for choice very soon when it comes to his centre-back options. Going so long with limited numbers in such a key position of the Tottenham team, March will see the return of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven to action.

The duo will then compete with Kevin Danso and Ben Davies for a starting spot as Spurs look to finish strongly in the Premier League and hopefully triumph in the Europa League. There is also Archie Gray to consider for a centre-back role after filling in expertly in the position over the past few months.

Tottenham's centre-back numbers will only increase come the summer as they have three players currently playing their football away from the club. So what does the future hold for Tottenham's centre-backs heading into the 2025/26 campaign? football.london takes a look below.

Cristian Romero

It shouldn't be too long until Romero is back on the pitch for Tottenham after a long injury layoff. The World Cup winner has been missed during his absence and Postecoglou's selection is going to be quite interesting now with Danso performing well since making the move to N17.

Romero will enter the final two years of his Tottenham contract this summer and the club will soon have a decision to make over him as they will not want him to enter the last 12 months of his deal considering his market value. The 26-year-old has been linked with a move to Real Madrid previously and that may well see him in the headlines prior to the 2025/26 campaign. KEEP, UNLESS A MAJOR OFFER COMES IN AND HE SIGNALS HIS INTENTION TO MOVE.

Micky van de Ven

March should also see the return of Van de Ven as the Dutchman has not featured since his 45-minute cameo against Elfsborg at the end of January. Tottenham just need to keep the youngster fit as he has missed chunks of the past two campaigns through injury. KEEP.

Radu Dragusin

It will be next season when Radu Dragusin returns to action for Tottenham after suffering an ACL injury in the Europa League win against Elfsborg. Amid question marks over how much football the Romanian would play this term, the 23-year-old has featured regularly and made 28 appearances prior to his season-ending injury. KEEP.

Kevin Danso

Danso was a late arrival in the January transfer window after Tottenham struck a loan agreement with French club Lens for his services. The agreement between both clubs contains an obligation to buy for £20.9million this summer. PERMANENT TRANSFER.

Ben Davies

Davies is very much considered a centre-back at Tottenham now despite playing the vast majority of his football for the club as a left-back. The 31-year-old is a dependable figure at the back for Postecoglou and the boss needs to ensure the Welshman remains in north London for the foreseeable future.

Davies' current deal expires at the end of June but it was reported back in November that Spurs have decided to take up a one-year extension, keeping him at the club for the 2025/26 season. The club have yet to officially confirm a new contract for the ex-Swansea City man, however. NEW CONTRACT.

Luka Vuskovic

Tottenham fans cannot wait to see Luka Vuskovic in action going on his exploits for Hajduk Split, Radomiak Radom and Westerlo. The 18-year-old is already viewed as one of the most talented youngsters coming through in world football right now and Tottenham ensured they got their man after confirming a deal for the Croat back in September 2023.

It remains to be seen how much football he will play next term but you would have to say there's a fair chance he does go on to play for the Spurs first team in 2025/26 going on his experience so far. If his football is to be limited then there is of course the opportunity to send him out on loan to enhance his game even further. KEEP, THEN REVIEW THE SITUATION IN JANUARY.

Ashley Phillips

Ashley Phillips has yet to make a senior appearance for Tottenham but he will be hoping that changes next season. Impressing at Championship side Plymouth Argyle in the second half of last campaign, the 19-year-old is now doing likewise for Stoke City.

Phillips will return to Tottenham in the summer and the club will then decide on whether to keep him for the season or loan him out again. With Danso now at the club, Vuskovic set to join and of course the possibility that Spurs look to enhance their backline even further, Phillips may depart on loan once again. LOAN.

Alfie Dorrington

Alfie Dorrington has found starts hard to come by since making the move to Aberdeen in January. The academy ace has played five games for the Dons so far but only one of those appearances has come from the start of a match.

Another loan move has to be on the cards for the 19-year-old next season to help aid his first-team development. LOAN.
