Jermaine Jenas is eager to see Tottenham secure skipper Ledley King to a new deal.
King's contract expires in June and Jenas told the London Evening Standard: "When Ledley is fit, he is one of the best defenders in the world. How can you not miss him?
"You see the difference and you feel the difference when he is not playing. That is not just me saying that, because all our defenders respect him.
"All our other centre-halves have performed superbly when called upon, but taking Ledley out of a side is like taking Cristiano Ronaldo - or any of the best players in the world - out of a team. Any team would miss Ledley.
"Yes, he has picked up the odd niggle here and there, but things are a lot more positive for him now, in terms of playing games.
"Hopefully, he will stay at Spurs for a long time to come."
