Bentancur joined Spurs at the start of 2022 from Juventus and has gone on to make 122 appearances for the Premier League club, where he lifted the Europa League last season. 

Speaking to the club website, he opened up on what the club means to him as he looks towards the future. 

"I feel really good and I'm very happy to continue my story with this fantastic club. 

"My family are happy; I have fantastic friends and team-mates who work hard every day. I love this club and feel really good here. 

"Winning the Europa League was a fantastic moment and we want to build on this now, to win more trophies. 

"We have a new Head Coach, a new captain and I want to enjoy many more years at the Club." 

Manager Thomas Frank also spoke on his new contract and why he decided to lock him down to a fresh deal. 

"I'm extremely happy that Rodrigo has committed his future to the Club. 

"It shows his belief in what we are building here and that we are starting a journey which we hope will be really special. 

"Rodri is a big part of that. He's a fantastic midfielder who can dictate games and be the glue that holds the team together. He also has the ability to arrive in the penalty area, create goals and score them, too.”
