Rodrigo Bentancur has 72 caps for Uruguay
Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has signed a new deal at the club.
The Uruguay international has made 122 appearances for the club since joining from Juventus in 2022.
The 28-year-old started as Spurs ended their 17-year trophy drought by beating Manchester United in the Europa League final last season.
Tottenham did not specify the length of Bentancur's new deal, referring to it instead as "long-term".
"I feel really good and I'm very happy to continue my story with this fantastic club," he said.
"We have a new head coach, a new captain and I want to enjoy many more years at the club."
Bentancur joined the club under Antonio Conte but the Italian only lasted another 14 months in north London before he was sacked.
Ange Postecoglou replaced the former Chelsea boss in 2023, before Thomas Frank took over from the Australian earlier this year.
"I'm extremely happy that Rodrigo has committed his future to the club," said Frank.
"It shows his belief in what we are building here and that we are starting a journey which we hope will be really special."
