The British Evening Standard reported on the 26th (Korea time) 'Tottenham will issue a clause extending Son's contract by one year'
Tottenham is set to play Karabakh in the first round of the Europa League in 2024-2025 season on the 27th. However, what drew attention at the pre-match press conference was not the prospect of the match between Tottenham and Karabakh. It was a question about captain Son Heung-min's contract extension.
Son Heung-min said of the contract extension "We haven't talked about anything yet" he said. Soon after "I'm focusing on this season. I have the same goal at this age, and I'm more concerned about this because I'm participating in a lot of competition this season. This year, I want to win the championship that everyone in the club deserves. I still have a contract with the club, and that's very important. I want to do everything until the contract expires," he said, expressing his focus on the season without renewing his contract with the club.

There have already been news several times that Tottenham will trigger an option to extend the contract instead of renewing the contract. British media reported during the summer transfer window that Tottenham is preparing to extend a one-year contract with Son Heung-min, the team's key striker. We don't know what his future holds after the 2025-2026 season.'
There is a possibility that he may consider whether to renew his contract for a long time depending on his performance after the extension option is invoked. Tottenham often applies contracts to Hugo Lloris or key players over the age of 30. Son Heung-min, who is the club's living legend and the best ace, scored 164 goals in 414 games in Tottenham, also failed to avoid this standard.
Tottenham's conclusion about Son Heung-min, who has devoted 10 years to Tottenham, may not be renewed. Son Heung-min, who is on his way as a Tottenham legend, did not express it, but he is expected to be disappointed.
