Jenas, said in many quarters to be the "Julian Clarey of football", has not exactly set London alight since Spurs signed him from Newcastle United in 2005, with many labeling the England international a chronic underachiever.
However, the arrival of Juande Ramos in October has seen an upturn in his achievements, and "JJ" - as he likes to be called (and we were appauled when a certain section of the Toon Army picked it up wrong and called him "Gay Gay") - is set to stay at the club until 2014.
The ex-Nottingham Forest midfielder was thought to be set to leave following the arrival of Croatian playmaker Luka Modric.
