‘Contract now, play tomorrow’ – Tottenham fans think Jack Roles deserves a new deal and first-team chances

Tottenham Hotspur starlet Jack Roles scored a hat-trick against Derby County in the Premier League 2 last night.

And his treble helped Tottenham avoid relegation in the top-flight of U23 football. Spurs needed a victory to survive and Roles guided them to a 3-1 win.

But the 20-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and will become a free agent unless Spurs act quickly.

As things stand, it does not look like Tottenham are willing to reward his U23 performances with a contract extension.

But Roles has impressed all season and last night proved exactly what he is capable of as he scored a perfect hat-trick.

The Spurs youngster scored with both feet and with his head to ensure his side emerged victorious against Derby.

This showed the versatile talent that the Cyprus U21 attacking midfielder possesses. And he took his tally to 11 goals and six assists in 28 games this season.

But despite this haul, Roles faces an uncertain future. It remains to be seen whether Spurs will extend his contract and he could be searching for a new club.

Here are some tweets from Spurs fans discussing this situation.
