King hoping for contract talks

Tottenham club captain Ledley King is hoping for talks about a fresh deal at White Hart Lane.

Spurs have an option for a one-year extension to the 29-year-old’s current contract, which runs out at the end of the season, and it looks increasingly likely to be triggered as King has learnt to manage his chronic knee condition and has played in six Barclays Premier League games so far in the campaign.
