According to reports from the Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur are in talks with youngster Japhet Tanganga over a pay-rise following his impressive start for the senior side.
The 20-year-old made his Premier League debut against Liverpool, and produced a solid performance. He has played with confidence after that and has emerged as a key member of the side under Jose Mourinho.
There is now a growing hope that Tanganga will sign a new deal at the club.
The youngster is currently on a basic wage of £1k per-week. However, Spurs are looking to offer him a figure in the region of £15k-per-week. Furthermore, there will be a promise of another new contract and pay rise if he makes a certain number of senior appearances.
Many Spurs fans feel that the amount offered to him is still very low, and that he should be given a long-term contract with a much better wage package.
pay him what he is worth…
Its more than 15 grand a week…— Martin Dolan (@Martindolan101) February 6, 2020
Or pay him 40k a week and a 10 year contract. The kid is worth it

Tanganga is progressing nicely at the club, and he should take it step by step. Mourinho has kept faith in him, and he is getting better with every game.
Surely, the new contract offer is a big pay rise from his previous one, and he should not hesitate to agree to it.
