British media Give Me Sports quoted a report by Fabrizio Romano, a reporter familiar with the soccer transfer market, saying on the 14th (Korea time) that Son Heung-min is ready to accept the option to extend his contract. Romano recently started the process of invoking a contract clause that extends Tottenham's contract with Son Heung-min until June 2026 through SNS (social network service). Son Heung-min will be accompanied by Tottenham for at least one more season (than his previous contract)."
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.

The media outlet said, "'Son Heung-min showed good performance even after Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich. However, he started the season somewhat slowly due to injury problems this season. But he is a world-class man. Still, he was productive at Tottenham. Tottenham have some decisions to make in early 2025 in addition to Son Heung-min,' he added.
