Criticism has been raised that the decision not to present a new contract to Son Heung-min (Tottenham) is a `foolish' act.

Tottenham Hotspur News reported on the 13th (Korea time) 'Tottenham Boardjin faced criticism for being stupid about the controversy over Son Heung-min's contract.

Tottenham Hotspur News thinks it's foolish for Tottenham not to offer Son a new contract. He explained that Son Heung-min has claimed to be Tottenham's most outstanding player in recent years.



King is a former Tottenham scout football specialist.

"Son Heung-min was one of Tottenham's outstanding players in recent years, along with Harry Kane (Bayern Munich). If the club doesn't think it's worth giving Son a two-year contract, the board should take a close look at itself."



"If Tottenham gives Son a chance to leave for Saudi Arabia, it would be foolish," he said outraged.

He stressed that Tottenham should keep Son Heung-min.



King said, `Just having Son at the club is a great help to young players. He praised the lighthouse for showing young players how important it is to train faithfully and play passionately."

Tottenham and Son Heung-min's official contract is from 2024 to 2025 season. Tottenham have safety features. The club has the option to extend the contract by one year until the 2025-2026 season.

If Tottenham executes the option, Son Heung-min will be a Tottenham player until the summer of 2026.

King is asking to sign a two-year extension contract from the 2025-2026 season.

There are many reasons why Tottenham did not extend the contract anew and only invoked the one-year option.

Once the option is not implemented, Son Heung-min will be signed as a free agent in the summer of 2025.

Tottenham has to release Son Heung-min after failing to collect the transfer fee.

Tottenham is very unlikely to send Son for free because there are rumors that they want Son Heung-min in the Saudi professional league.

Whether Tottenham needs Son Heung-min or not, it is economically beneficial for Tottenham to implement the option for now.

Son will be 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.

In addition, Son Heung-min's injuries have begun to become more frequent 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.

Since then, he has been excluded from the away match at Manchester United in the sixth round of the Premier League, the away match at Ferencvaros in the second round of the Europa League, and the away match at Brighton in the seventh round of the Premier League. He was not also called up for the third Asian qualifying team for the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup.

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. He also played in the away game of Galatasaray in the Europa League on the 8th. On the 10th, Ipswich's driving recovered enough physical strength to handle the full-time. Son Heung-min was also called up to the national team for the third Asian qualifying round for the World Cup in November.
