"We very much hope Jermain Defoe will extend his contract with the club," he said.

"We have progressively introduced an increased element of performance-related remuneration into player contracts designed to reward success."

Tottenham announced record financial results and confirmed the departure of Paul Kemsley as vice-chairman, but it remains uncertain if either will impact on Martin Jol's position as manager.

Spurs recorded their best figures for turnover and profit, partly due to the partnerships with Mansion and Puma, but also because of Jol's work over the last two seasons.

The Dutchman was credited with getting the club into Europe and in the last campaign they played 21 cup ties on top of the revenue that comes from Premier League games.

There was no reference to Jol in the statement from the club to the Stock Exchange announcing their impressive figures for the 12 months before June 30 this year.
