3 Reasons Why This Tottenham Star Should Snub Crystal Palace And Stay At The Lane

There’s something about rampaging Welsh left backs. Ben Davies, too is one of the best, but he is currently playing a second fiddle to Danny Rose in a Tottenham side that are slowly making their way back into the title challenge. Pochettino has based his side’s attacking impetus on high full backs in the form of Danny Rose and Kyle Walker.

Thus the role of a fullback at Spurs is essential. Davies moved to Tottenham as part of the deal that took Gylfi Sigurdsson to Swansea. Now, he is being linked with a move to Sam Allardyce’s Crystal Palace. The Eagles have already signed left-sided player Jeffrey Schlupp from Leicester but are looking to further insure their squad with the acquisition of Davies, to cover for the long term absence of Papa Souare.

Ben Davies has found first-team action hard to come by since his move from Swansea and plays only the occasional cup games, much to his bemusement. At Swansea, he has established himself as a rampaging left back that was equally adept on both the attacking and defensive fronts.

He might have to move elsewhere in order to get considerable game time again, but Crystal Palace’s interest in him might come as a boon for the Welshman, and here are 3 reasons why he should stay put at White Hart Lane and reject a move to Selhurst Park –

It’s a long season ahead for Spurs

By virtue of finishing 3^rd in their Champions League group, Spurs were demoted to the knockout stages of the Europa League, a competition that can take a toll on players due to the amount of travelling and the days on which the fixtures play themselves out. Davies could get a chance to impress, as Pochettino would prefer to rest Danny Rose for the league campaign.

Crystal Palace are likely to get involved a tedious relegation tussle

Although it would come at the cost of much-needed game time, Davies should look to avoid departing a title challenge and heading straight into a relegation battle, which also involves his former club Swansea City. It would not bode well for Davies’ career at the moment. He’s instead better off staying at Spurs and waiting for his chance to come.

An injury to Danny Rose could see Spurs in some really troubled waters

With Jan Verthongen already injured, Spurs cannot afford to lose any more men to injury. Losing Danny Rose could give Pochettino a lot of reasons to be worried about. Thus, Davies must stay put at the club and wait for his chance to help the team out. With Spurs also being involved in the FA Cup, there could be chances for Davies there.
