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.
