King puts new Spurs contract in jeopardy

Ledley King has put his new contract at Tottenham in doubt after his arrest last week, it has been revealed.

The Daily Mail says King has jeopardised his Tottenham future and faces a £160,000 club fine over the late-night drinking spree that ended in arrest for alleged assault.

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has previously warned King that he had to show the club that he was living a healthy lifestyle if they were to persuade club chairman Daniel Levy to give him a one-year extension.

King, 28, whose deal runs out in July next year, had hoped that the club would open talks on a new contract this summer after he regained his fitness in the second half of the season to play 27 games in this campaign.

However, his arrest on suspicion of assault in Soho in the small hours of Sunday morning has now made the club's hierarchy dubious about whether to give him an extension.
