Ledley King: Happy to leave contract talks until end of season

Sky Bet

Tottenham defender Ledley King is happy to leave discussions over his future at the club until the end of the season.

King, who suffers from a chronic knee problem, is out of contract at the end of the season and manager Harry Redknapp said earlier this term that he would have to play at least 20 games to earn a new one.

The Spurs club captain has made 15 appearances so far this year, helping the North Londoners to third in the table as they mount a Premier League title push.

The 31-year-old, who has spent his entire career at White Hart Lane, says he is in no rush to open talks over his future.

He said: "I've left it between my agent and the chairman and I have not heard anything at the moment.

"I'm just keeping my head down and playing as many games as I can and at the end of the season we will see where that is."
