British media 'TBR Football' reported on the 7th (Korea time) 'Tottenham told Son Heung-min that they had no plans to discuss a new contract'
To some extent, it is a scheduled step. Now, the key is whether or not to activate the option.
Son Heung-min and Tottenham's official contract is due this season. In the summer of 2025, Son will be released as a free agent.
However, Tottenham has a safety device. It has the option to extend the contract through the 2025-2026 season. If Tottenham executes this, Son Heung-min will be a Tottenham player by 2026.
However, Son Heung-min is 34 years old in 2026. Although the recent introduction of scientific conditioning methods and state-of-the-art equipment has increased the number of players playing until their late 30s, it is true that they are old enough to consider retirement when their mid-30s are broken.
For Tottenham, it is also burdensome to extend the contract with Son Heung-min for a long time.
Tottenham has already secured a large number of resources for Son Heung-min's successor through the transfer market this summer. It recruited three teenage wingers, including Wilson O'Dober, Yang Min-hyuk, and Mikey Moore.
TBR Football said 'Tottenham had to deal with a significant injury problem in November. Son Heung-min is one of the players who has already been injured this season. Tottenham told Son Heung-min they had no plans to discuss a new contract.
TBR Football is not ready to offer Son a new contract. Tottenham have told Son Heung-min they have no plans to hold negotiations on a new contract. Son Heung-min's side said, 'It seems that Tottenham was shocked by its 180-degree turnaround attitude.
TBR Football stressed that Son Heung-min is still needed by Tottenham.
The media reported that `Son Heung-min is more important than ever to Tottenham. He has turned 32 years old, but he still shows high quality with three goals and three assists in the league. Brennan Johnson praised Son Heung-min for being very inspired, he said.
Son Heung-min has already caused concern with repeated injuries this season.
Son Heung-min has been injured frequently recently. On 27 September, he was injured at home against Karabakh FK in the first round of the Europa League. In the 26th minute of the second half, when he complained of thigh pain, he collapsed.

Son Heung-min returned to the match against West Ham in the eighth round of the Premier League on the 19th. Son Heung-min was involved in three goals and led the way to a 4-1 victory, but was replaced in 70 minutes. After the game, I felt pain again and did not participate in training.
Since then, he has missed the Europa League AZ Alkmaar and the Premier League's ninth round against Crystal Palace. He seemed likely to return to the match against Manchester City in the round of 16 of the Carabao Cup, but he did not come out again.
Son Heung-min returned to the Premier League against Aston Villa on the 3rd, about two weeks later. Son Heung-min was also called up to the national team for the third Asian qualifying round for the World Cup in November.
The British media couldn't hide their anxiety when Son Heung-min returned to the Korean national team. This is due to the risk of a recurrence of injuries.
British media 'Football London' reported on the 5th (Korea time) 'Tottenham ace Son Heung-min recently returned from an injury and was included in the Korean national team ahead of the A-match break in November'
Football London is worried that Spurs fans will lose Son ahead of a busy game schedule starting in late November. He would hope that Son Heung-min's playing time would be limited in the A-match.
