The British sports mall reported on the 4th (Korea time) 'Tottenham is preparing to activate Son Heung-min's extension contract option'
Son Heung-min recently paid much attention to whether to renew his contract with Tottenham. Initially, the possibility of a long-term renewal this summer was widely expected, but Tottenham's choice was to activate an extension option to extend the contract period with Son Heung-min until the summer of 2026. Son Heung-min, whose contract was scheduled to expire in the summer of 2025, will have a total of two years left on his contract with Tottenham when the option to extend his contract is officially activated.
Fans were also surprised when the news of the extension option was announced instead of the news of the renewal of the contract. So far, coach Enze Postecoglou has also consistently recognized Son Heung-min as the center of the team, and Son Heung-min also finished his first season as captain safely, so he expects to remain at Tottenham for a considerable period of time by renewing his contract. However, as news emerged that Tottenham could sell Son Heung-min to Saudi Arabia after the next season as an extension option, concerns about Son's future were inevitable.
Some British media reported that Tottenham will offer a renewal of more than two years along with a one-year extension, and that the invocation of the extension option is a way for Tottenham to gain a little advantage in the renewal negotiations.

Tottenham is preparing to extend its one-year contract with Son Heung-min, the team's key striker. Son admitted some discomfort with speculation about the future, but did not guarantee that he would stay at Tottenham for years to come. If it expires by the one-year extension, Son will be 34. However, it is unknown what his future holds after the 2025-2026 season.'
According to the news, Tottenham could face problems when they try to re-sign Son Heung-min. Because they can have a hard time convincing Son that Tottenham is the best place to realize his trophy ambitions. He explained that Tottenham's irrelevant move could be an obstacle in the process of persuading Son to stay.
Son Heung-min has not actually lifted a trophy since joining Tottenham. Harry Kane, his close teammate, also left Tottenham for Bayern Munich because of his desire to win. Considering these situations, Son Heung-min can also reject Tottenham's offer of a long-term contract renewal to challenge the championship depending on Tottenham's situation, and Tottenham may have to persuade it.

As negotiations between Tottenham and Son Heung-min's renewal have been sluggish, some even argued that Tottenham may have difficulty convincing Son Heung-min. In order to put this speculation to rest and focus on Son Heung-min and Tottenham's journey to win, they need to renew their contracts quickly. Attention is expected to be drawn to Tottenham's decision.
