Son Heung-min is the player who makes money for Tottenham, but Tottenham doesn't seem to think so at all.
The British Telegraph reported on the 4th (Korea time) "Tottenham will issue a one-year option on the contract to leave Son's future to the club after this season. Tottenham and Son Heung-min re-sign in 2021, the deal expires in seven months" he said.
Brian King, who served as a Tottenham scout after the news came out, insisted in an interview with Tottenham News in England that the legendary treatment should be given. "Tottenham should ask Son Heung-min if he wants to end his career here," King said. For example, presenting a completely new two-year contract. If the new season goes well, he/she will accompany him/her in the second season, or if he/she wants to leave, he/she will release him/her," he/she said, insisting that he/she should decide whether to extend the contract through negotiations with the player.

Since becoming captain, Son has always shown his willingness to win for Tottenham somehow. Even before the start of this season, Son Heung-min said, `I still don't think I'm a legend of this club. I said I want to win something at Tottenham, and I would be really happy if I could be called a legend that way. I moved to Tottenham to win. "I hope we can make a special season." He expressed his willingness to win at Tottenham.
Even when Tottenham faced a huge crisis three years ago, Son Heung-min did not hesitate to renew his contract with Tottenham. Tottenham were reeling at the time after Jose Mourinho left suddenly. It was when he failed to set up the coach candidate group properly, and when he turned around and appointed Nunu Espiritu Santo.

At a time when even Harry Kane, another Tottenham legend, would have wanted to leave Tottenham citing a gentleman's agreement, Son chose to renew his contract with Tottenham. If Son Heung-min really wanted to move from Tottenham to another team, he wouldn't have even pushed for a renewal at that time.
Tottenham, like that, is even regretting to raise Son Heung-min's salary. After news broke that Tottenham would invoke Son's one-year extension after the season, British Give Me Sports decided to make a cautious choice instead of putting more pressure on their squad salaries. Therefore, instead of offering Son a new lucrative contract, he will invoke a one-year extensionHe explained why Tottenham chose a one-year extension rather than renewing the contract with Son Heung-min.

The biggest concern for Tottenham's leadership recently seems not to be winning. They are only interested in the direction of increasing profits and reducing spending. In fact, Tottenham's annual salary has been reduced compared to last season. It is already closing its wallet even though it has the lowest ratio of annual expenditure to revenue in the English Premier League (EPL).
It's not like Tottenham doesn't have money. According to the 2024 data released by Deloitte in the United States 'Football Money League', Tottenham had the eighth-highest revenue in the world. He made the most money in the EPL after Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool. In 2023, it exceeded 600 million euros (about 9001 billion won) in profits for the first time in the club's history.

If you look at the financial situation, Tottenham is enjoying the best boom of all time. Son Heung-min is the player who contributed greatly to this background. Tottenham's recruitment of Son Heung-min made it possible to expect huge financial returns in the Asian market. Tottenham is making a lot of money with Son Heung-min, Asia's top superstar at this point.
Just looking at the pre-season, most of the recent EPL clubs spend time in the U.S. By comparison, Tottenham went on a pre-season tour of Asia for three consecutive years from the summer of 2022. Would Tottenham be so popular in Asia without Son Heung-min.
Also this season Tottenham have decided to raise the price of their home game season tickets. It is a calculation to make more money, but it is a waste to raise the salary of Son Heung-min, the captain.

Son Heung-min is the most expensive player in Tottenham, but he is by no means a high player in the league as a whole. In terms of rankings, it is near the top 30. Tottenham are the fourth highest-grossing club in the league, but the players are not getting the money to match.
Of course, Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy is the one who maintains this direction. Give Me Sports is trying desperately to keep spending from growing out of control. Levy wants to avoid a significant pay rise at this point in Son's career but has decided to keep the player alive by invoking a one-year extension," he said.
Why did Chairman Levi leave Son Heung-min. In the end, there is strong speculation that it is due to financial returns. "There are a lot of Korean supporters coming to see the Tottenham game, which will be very profitable," King said. Therefore, it means a lot to keep him around for as long as possible."
Tottenham news also "It would certainly make sense for Tottenham to keep Son Heung-min for as long as possible. Son's presence is a huge boost to the club's finances and chairman Levi because many supporters come from Korea to watch Son's games and buy Son's uniforms."

Son Heung-min is not a financially helpful player either. He is also the best at Tottenham in terms of skills. It is no exaggeration to say that Tottenham's performance will change significantly depending on whether Son Heung-min plays or not. British Spurs Webb also said, `Despite some recent problems, Son is still one of the most important players on the field. Manager Enze Postecoglou says Son wants to be around for as long as possible" he insisted.
Beyond this, Spurs Webb wrote, "Given how much Son is still contributing on the field and how much he is worth for Tottenham, it seems highly likely that a new three-year contract will be signed at some point this season. It would be a reasonable choice for all parties"He raised the need to offer Son a multi-year contract.
