edley King insists sorting out a contract extension at Tottenham is not a priority at present.[LNB] The Spurs skipper's current deal is set to expire at the end of next season, but no negotiations have taken place as yet to prolong that agreement.[LNB]Harry Redknapp has urged the White Hart Lane hierarchy to 'look after' the England international once his contract runs out, with the 28-year-old having suffered terribly with injuries in recent years.[LNB]However, with the club currently battling for their Premier League lives, King insists there are more pressing issues at hand than resolving his future.[LNB]"I'm not worried," he said. [LNB]"To be honest I am just thinking about playing for the rest of the season and playing as many games as I can. That (the contract) will take care of itself."[LNB]King is incapable of playing two games in quick succession nowadays, with a persistent knee problem having left his joints in tatters.[LNB]That means he is likely to sit out Wednesday's clash with Middlesbrough after pushing his aching limbs through 120 minutes of action in the Carling Cup final on Sunday.[LNB]
