Tottenham's absurd plan for Son Heung-min also threw a tongue at the club legend.
Tottenham News, which mainly reports on Tottenham, said on Monday (Korea time), "Son Heung-min seems to be dissatisfied with Tottenham's uncertainty. The club plans to exercise the option of extending the contract for one year with Son. However, this information has not been made official yet. Brian King, the former scout for Tottenham, said, "I cannot understand why."
According to the media, King said, "This should have been resolved three or four months ago. It doesn't make sense. He has built his soccer career at Tottenham. There has never been a better player since joining the team. I would have been angry. I wonder if he is 100 percent still at Tottenham. I don't know if Son is happy at the moment. How many years has Son been with the team. And he has been a star since the first day."
Son is one of the hottest players this winter. His contract with Tottenham expires at the end of this season. Initially, Tottenham and Son were expected to renew their contracts for a long time. The mood has changed. Watchers say that Tottenham could use the option of extending the contract for one year. Meanwhile, global fans have expressed their interest in Son. Reportedly, Son is drawing attention from Saudi Arabian League, Paris Saint-Germain (France), Galatasaray (Turkiye), Manchester United (England), FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid (Spain), and Bayern Munich.
A reversal has occurred. British media Give Me Sports quoted Fabrizio Romano, who is well versed in the transfer market, as saying on Sunday that Tottenham can activate the option to extend its contract with Son until 2026. Son will leave Tottenham after his contract expires in the summer of 2025. Tottenham has the option to extend its contract by one year without offering any new terms. It said that it would be reasonable for Tottenham to activate its option to keep its value. "It is expected that Son will stay at Tottenham until June 2026. The mood inside the team after October is expected," Romano said.
The media outlet said, "He will take on more responsibilities, including serving as captain after Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich (Germany). Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou will be desperate to keep Son. In a situation where Tottenham can extend its contract without a pay raise. However, it will be a tricky situation in 2026. There is no guarantee that Son will continue to perform on the same level until then."
Son Heung-min is a legendary figure in Tottenham Hotspur. He joined the club through the transfer window in the summer of 2015. He has scored double-digit goals for eight consecutive seasons since the 2016-2017 season. Since the inauguration of the English Premier League in 1992, only seven players have scored more than 10 goals for eight consecutive seasons. Son has also become Asia's first top scorer with 23 goals during the 2021-2022 season. He was also a top scorer with no penalty kicks. He left 17 goals and 10 assists in the league during the 2023-2024 season. He once again joined the "10 (Gol)-10 (Help) Club" in the 2019-2020 season. He became the first Asian player to achieve the EPL 10-10 (11 goals and 10 assists) in the 2019-2020 season. He became the third Asian player to achieve the EPL 10-10 (11 goals and 10 assists) following the 2020-2021 season (17 goals and 10 assists). 스포츠토토
In particular, Son Heung-min added two assists in the EPL match against Southampton on the 16th, building 68 assists on the EPL stage. He has become the No. 1 player in Tottenham's EPL history. According to Tottenham's website, Darren Anderton (67), who played in Tottenham's uniform between 1992 and 2004, has provided the most help so far. Son Heung-min broke the record by building two assists on the day.
Tottenham reported, "Son Heung-min does not seem to be satisfied with the way his contract is handled. Son is one of the most important players of the club both inside and outside the stadium. However, this does not reflect how Son's future is being handled. We can explain why he has not been in his best condition recently. Tidying up the near future can be a quick and easy way."
