However, coach Mauricio Pochettino is about to sign a contract extension at the club, who are working to extend the deals of Eriksen, Jan Vertonghen, Erik Lamela and Nacer Chadli, whose current deals run out in 2018, according to The Telegraph.

Jamie Carragher has insisted that Tottenham midfielder Mousa Dembele’s season is over after he was caught eye gouging Diego Costa in the ill-tempered draw with Chelsea on Monday night.
Spurs were without attacking sensation Dele Alli against Chelsea after he was hit with a three-match retrospective ban for punching West Brom’s Claudio Yacob last Monday. The linesman appeared to have a flawless view of the incident but no action was taken on the French global.
While he didn’t appear to do any physical harm to Costa, it’s likely Dembele will be punished for the incident nonetheless.
If that particular incident was missed by referee Mark Clattenburg, then the influential Belgian could face disciplinary action from the FA. It’s normal, the emotion, fighting on the pitch maybe is not a good example for both teams, but it was hard.
With Spurs needing a win to keep their slim title hopes alive, they arrived at Stamford Bridge with an intensity not seen from their players before. A potential suspension may send the defensive midfielder on the sidelines for the remaining Spurs’ two games.

Spurs will face an automatic fine of £25,000 after nine of their players received yellow cards in the game – the most cautions any club has received in one Premier League match. That intensity though was poorly controlled as several incidences in the game caused players to clash during and after the game.
