Tottenham will not choose Son Heung-min to renew his contract. Only a one-year extension is invoked.
"Tottenham will invoke Son Heung-min's extension clause on the 10th (Korea time). Tottenham are interested in Harvey Poiado to add options to the left wing-forward position but are focused on securing the future of Son Heung-min, the club's captain," he reported.
"Son Heung-min recently admitted that there has not been a discussion about renewing the contract yet. Tottenham plans to invoke a one-year extension to keep Son Heung-min from leaving the team on free agency and to keep him at Tottenham until 2026."
Football Transfer said Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy's plan is to choose to extend the contract, not renew Son Heung-min's contract. The media analyzed "The use of Daniel Levy's contract extension is a key strategy to maintain team stability, and this approach is likely to leave Son Heung-min, a fan favorite, as a key player for Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou for a while."

It was already expected to some extent. Tottenham and Son Heung-min's contract will be finalized after the 2024-2025 season. Tottenham does not offer a long-term renewal to a player in his 30s. Son Heung-min maintained excellent performance even at the age of 32 and was so important in the team that he thought it would be exceptional for Son Heung-min, but Tottenham was also Tottenham.
When asked about renewal negotiations in September, Son Heung-min said, `We haven't had any conversations yet. It's a very clear situation for me. I'm very focused on this season"He said he had not received an offer from Tottenham to renew his contract.

If he is not going to renew his contract with Son Heung-min, Tottenham has two choices. They only released it as a free contract next summer or triggered a one-year contract extension. Tottenham, a tight-knit man, will not choose the former.
After the remarks that there was no conversation between Son Heung-min and the club's renewal, local media in Britain reported that Tottenham would choose a one-year extension rather than Son Heung-min's renewal.
At the time, the British Evening Standard "Tottenham will issue a clause extending the contract with captain Son Heung-min for another year. Tottenham captain Son Heung-min is out of contract at the end of the season but the club has a clause that allows him to extend his contract for another 12 months and will exercise it"It was once said.

Fans are also disappointed by the one-year extension clause, not the renewal of the contract with Son Heung-min. Postecoglou also said, `I don't always have a final say, but I certainly think my opinion is important to Son Heung-min's contract issue. For now, I think a one-year contract extension is part of the wider discussion about Son Heung-min. But I'm hoping Son will stay in this position for a while, given the way Son is currently leading TottenhamSon Heung-min was urged to renew his contract, but Tottenham's choice was only to trigger a one-year extension.
There is also a view that Tottenham is not planning a long-term future with Son Heung-min. Ben Jacobs, who is familiar with European transfer market information, insisted that `If Tottenham announced a one-year contract extension, and Son Heung-min did not participate in the process, I think Tottenham is not desperately trying to sign Son Heung-min after 2026.'

Then he added "Tottenham's leadership is delaying the renewal of Son Heung-min's contract until the end. Tottenham explained the reason why Son Heung-min has not been desperately renewing his contract with Son Heung-min since 2026, saying, "Considering his age and the development of the club, it is better to say goodbye naturally after 2026."
Football Transfer, meanwhile, noted that Tottenham may sign a new left wing forward ahead of reports that the club will trigger Son's contract extension. The player Tottenham is interested in was Poido, who is playing for Espanyol.

The above media outlet stated that "Tottenham are closely watching Espanyol winger Poido as they seek to strengthen their team during the upcoming January transfer window. The winger caught the attention of Tottenham scouts as he watched loanee Alejo Belize play against Real Bayecano in early September. Fuado became one of the club's most important players with 48 goals in 184 appearances and the sixth highest scorer in Espanyol history.
It remains to be seen whether Poi's recruitment rumors are true, but if Tottenham really moves to recruit Poi's, it may be a choice to worry about Son Heung-min's declining performance. As Son Heung-min gets older, his performance will inevitably decline, and Tottenham needs a player who can replace or at least compete with Son Heung-min.
From this point of view, Tottenham's choice of a one-year extension rather than a renewal with Son Heung-min would be more explained.
