British media Court Offside said on the 17th (Korean time) 'There are many uncertainties about Son's future. However, Tottenham legend Son Heung-min is said to remain in the team, according to the report.
Son Heung-min's future is drawing keen attention. His contract with Tottenham expires at the end of this season. However, it is known that there is an option to extend it by one year. Earlier, the British media Telegraph reported that Tottenham will soon issue an option to extend Son's one-year contract. Tottenham signed Son Heung-min to his last contract (four years) in July 2021, with the club reportedly having the option to extend his contract for another year'
It was surprising news. Son Heung-min left Leverkusen (Germany) and joined Tottenham through the transfer market in the summer of 2015. His ransom was €30 million at the time. It was the highest transfer fee ever for an Asian player. Son Heung-min has been active since the 2016-2017 season after going through the adaptation period. Dele Alli (D), Christian Eriksen (E), Son Heung-min (S), and Harry Kane (K) have been established.
He scored double digits for eight consecutive seasons from the 2016-2017 season. Since the inauguration of the English Premier League (EPL) in 1992, only seven players have scored 10 or more goals for eight consecutive seasons. In addition, Son Heung-min scored 23 goals in the league in the 2021-2022 season, becoming Asia's first top scorer in the English Premier League (EPL). He was 100% pure top scorer with no penalty kick points. Son Heung-min also left 17 goals and 10 assists in the league in the 2023-2024 season. Once again, I joined '10 (goal)-10 (help) club'. He became the first Asian player to achieve EPL 10-10 (11 goals-10 assists) in the 2019-2020 season. After the 2020-2021 season (17 goals-10 assists), he was listed as the third 10-10 in his career. Son Heung-min scored 165 goals and 87 assists in a total of 419 games for Tottenham.

In the meantime, Son Heung-min has been consistently asked for love calls from the Saudi Arabian League, Atletico Madrid, and FC Barcelona (Spain). This time, even PSG is 'link'.
Son Heung-min seems to keep his loyalty to the club. Courtoffside cited a report by Florian Flettenberg, a reporter for Sky Sports' German version. Reporter Plettenberg said 'Tottenham is expected to activate the option of Son Heung-min to extend his contract until 2026. Son Heung-min is expected to remain at Tottenham after 2025.
Court offside added 'Son Heung-min's remaining is good news for Tottenham fans. Son Heung-min is reportedly desperate to remain at Tottenham for his first trophy. If there is a player who deserves to lift the trophy at Tottenham, it is Son Heung-min. Fans will be delighted to see the Tottenham captain and legend around for a little longer'
