Ledley King's new Tottenham deal is worth a cool £4 million-a-year, it has been revealed.

The Mirror says King has celebrated his World Cup call-up by signing a new £4million-a-year contract at Tottenham.

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp last night revealed his skipper has agreed a two-year deal to keep him at White Hart Lane until 2012.

Redknapp said: "Ledley is the only player I know who doesn't train all week, turns up on a Saturday and looks like a world-class defender. He is an absolute freak."
