Tottenham will secure a short-term future for now. Son Heung-min is the No. 2 player in the club. It is unlikely that Tottenham will send Son Heung-min on a free contract.

Even when Son Heung-min was embroiled in re-signing issues and rumors of a transfer to Saudi Arabia, there was a lot of news that Tottenham would steadily want to renew the contract.
England's Football Insider reported an interview with former Everton president Keith Wynes, who said Tottenham would unconditionally try to catch Son Heung-min. "I think Tottenham will raise Son's wage, but I don't think it will be much higher. I think it's worth £100m even though he's had a sluggish season in terms of his value. Tottenham want to score freely, and this is the manager's message and Son Heung-min is key to that. They will want to tie Son to a contract for another two years` Tottenham will catch Son Heung-min unconditionally.
For Tottenham, it is also time for a clear reward for Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min is currently a living legend that no Tottenham fan can deny.

Son Heung-min played 31 rounds of the league in the 2023-2024 season and succeeded in playing 400 matches in 295 EPL games, 44 English Cup tournaments such as the FA Cup and League Cup, and 61 UEFA club competitions such as the Champions League. Since then, the number of games played has increased further.
Since its foundation, only 14 players have set a record of 400 appearances in Tottenham's history. Son Heung-min was the 14th player and the first non-European player to be named in the record. Morris Norman (411 games), John Pratt (415 games) and Phil Bill (420 games) are expected to be able to beat him in the future.
There are also many records to stay at Tottenham and try in the future. The next record that Son Heung-min, who has reached the 400 game mark at Tottenham, can challenge is to surpass Martin Chivers' record of 174 Tottenham goals, the fourth-highest scorer in the club's history. EPL's career records are also set to break. For the first time in Tottenham's history, the possibility of stepping on the EPL 100 assist next season increases.

He also showed his legendary side. In a recent interview "I still want to achieve something. It's not up to me to decide whether I'll be the legend of this club. I wouldn't call myself a legend because I still want to win here. That's why I'm committed. I think our future is bright with coach Enze Postecoglou and this club. We need to keep improvingHe also showed his will to become a legend of the club without winning the championship.
Tottenham is also expected to continue to think about the treatment of Son Heung-min, as it will be negative for other players and fans in the club if they easily reject a player who is making history at the club.
