Reporter Gold told one fan "Will Son Heung-min get an offer to extend his contract soon?When asked "I hope so. Tottenham know how much Son Heung-min means to them.

Considering Son Heung-min's influence and achievements at Tottenham so far, renewing his contract is a natural step. 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.

England's cutoff side said on the 6th that "'Saudi clubs are watching Son Heung-min.'" Son Heung-min has been rumored to be a transfer in recent months, and as his contract with Tottenham expires in 2025, Saudi clubs hope to sign him through a free transfer. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham extend their contract with him. Son Heung-min is an indispensable asset for Tottenham, and it is a big blow to lose him,' he said, adding that Saudi Arabia is paying attention to Son Heung-min again due to the stagnant contract renewal between Son and Tottenham.
Son Heung-min's choice is already known. He wants to stay at Tottenham instead of moving to Saudi Arabia. The attitude itself was different from that of other players. Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne also said the Saudi offer this summer was not easy to turn down. "I think you can make a lot of money if you play for Saudi for two years," said Derbroughner. I played football for 15 years before that and maybe I haven't reached that amount yet. Then you have to think about what that means"It is difficult to refuse because the amount of money the players receive is more than expected." On the other hand, Son Heung-min has consistently shown his affection for the English Premier League (EPL) stage and Tottenham.

He then showed his affection for Tottenham. He said "I'm always doing my best for Tottenham, and I'll continue to do my best. He has always said that he wants to deliver something to Tottenham. I want to keep it because it's a promise I made with my fans as well as myself. I don't think we're in a situation where we're talking about a contract right now." In a recent interview, he even left a statement like the club's captain that he would definitely win the trophy, saying that he could not be called a legend in Tottenham yet.

England's The Boyhotsper says Son's contract is due in 2025, and the club has a one-year extension option. Tottenham have yet to make an official decision on the clause. Son Heung-min, who is set to face the final year of his contract, said, "We are discussing a possible extension of Tottenham's future, but it is still uncertain."
Football London in England is also important to add key players to Tottenham, but it is also important to retain superstars who are already at the club. Tottenham's biggest name would be captain Son Heung-min. He is out of contract in 2025, and no extension discussions have been made yet. The sale may seem natural, but Son should also consider the length of his potential contract. Tottenham have to offer him an extension of no more than three years. Ultimately, a cruel decision has to be made, and a decision related to Son Heung-min will be made within a few years,' he said, insisting Tottenham should make a number of other cruel decisions that will help the team instead of over-receiving Son's long-term contract.

As Tottenham's clear attitude toward Son Heung-min's contract period and renewal has not emerged, speculation is increasing. As reporter Gold mentioned, it is expected that the two sides will continue to receive great attention until the official announcement on whether they will be able to complete the renewal of the contract.
