Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy is said to be in regular contact with Son Heung-min's 'Rival' agent, let alone renewing his contract with Captain Son Heung-min.

British media 'Football Fancast' reported on the 13th (Korea Standard Time) 'Tottenham is in regular contact with Son Heung-min's rival's agent'

One of Tottenham's biggest topics in the transfer market this summer is renewing his contract with Son Heung-min.



Tottenham and Son Heung-min's official contract period is from 2024 to 2025 season. At this rate, Son Heung-min will be released as a free agent next summer. Tottenham can't get a penny of the transfer fee and has to let Son Heung-min go.

At the end of last year, rumors of re-signing briefly circulated and then went in. Tottenham have safety features. I have an option to extend my contract with Son Heung-min by one year. Doing so will extend the contract until the summer of 2026.



However, no new news has been reported that Tottenham has activated its option or entered into renewal negotiations with Son Heung-min.



Rather, there is only talk that Tottenham is looking for a replacement for Son Heung-min.



Football FanCast said 'Son Heung-min had an incredibly productive year last season in terms of goals and assists. However, according to recent reports, Levy will recruit Son's perfect rival. The competition could be even fiercer next season,' he explained.

The main character is Wolverhampton's Portuguese striker Pedro Netu, Hwang Hee-chan's colleague. Netu overlaps with Son Heung-min's position. It's a wing forward that doesn't matter from left to right. He is eight years younger than Son Heung-min, so he can replace Son Heung-min in the long run.

However, Netu is a player who is often injured. Tottenham is said to have no willingness to force Netu into recruitment unless it is at a reasonable price.

Football Fancast is a good opportunity to make Son Heung-min nervous if Wolverhampton accepts a slightly lower price. It's such a waste to miss. It's hard for him to play in every game. Son Heung-min and I can take turns to relax for a big game.

Netu had three goals and 11 assists in 24 games last season. Football Fancast said 'Netu was involved in one goal per 1.71 games. On the other hand, Son Heung-min scored 17 goals and 10 assists, which is equivalent to one goal per 1.33 games. Ultimately, concerns about Netu's injury are true. You can't ignore it. However, he expected that the scenario of running the rotation with Son Heung-min, who is aging at a low cost, is an interesting prospect.

Another media outlet 'Give Me Sports'Tottenham has targeted Netu specifically in recent weeks. Netu missed 125 days last season. Tottenham have doubts about Netu's injury history'

Wolverhampton is said to want 60 million pounds (about 107.2 billion won) for Netu's transfer fee. Transfermarkt, a transfer site, estimated Netu's current ransom at 46 million pounds (about 82.5 billion won).
