Tottenham pair sign new contracts

Sporting director Damien Comolli told the Spurs website: "It's terrific. These are two young English players who have shown their ability early on.

"Both have the potential to go on to be full internationals and we're delighted they have underlined their commitment."

Lennon, 18, signed from Leeds in July 2005 while Dawson, 22, arrived from Nottingham Forest five months earlier.

Defender Dawson has started 26 times in the Premiership this term.

"I'm thrilled because this is a great club to be at," he said after agreeing to extend his contract.

"There is a fantastic team spirit and a real sense that the club is going places."

Lennon added: "I'm thoroughly enjoying my football at Spurs and it's a great squad that I really feel part of."
