Britain's Der Spurs News reported on the 2nd (Korea time) 'Son Heung-min's performance in the match against Fulham symbolically revealed why Tottenham hesitated to sign a new contract with Son Heung-min'
The Spurs News said Son Heung-min's performance this season is not meeting expectations. It appears that he has not fully recovered from his injury. It is far from what Son Heung-min showed in the past.

Tottenham had a chance to score at the start of the game. Werner took the ball away through pressure from the opponent's side, and Son Heung-min took the opportunity. Son Heung-min's calmly attempted shot in the box was unfortunately caught by Leno's foot. It was regrettable because Son Heung-min was in a position and situation where he could expect to score. Later, Tottenham led with Brennan Johnson's first goal in the 9th minute of the second half, but only gained one point by losing a point to Tom Cairney in the 22nd minute of the second half.
Son Heung-min was sluggish as he only shot in the first inning with a disappointing big chance miss in the game. It was a difficult game to be recognized for its good performance in attack figures, including 0% cross success rate and 50% competition success rate. Football statistics media Footmob gave Son a 6.5 rating, the lowest rating except for James Maddison (6.4 points) in the team.

The British Evening Standard gave Son the lowest rating of 6 and evaluated that Son was quiet instead of Solanke. Britain's Express gave the lowest rating of 6 points, 'Son Heung-min replaced the No. 9 spot, but it didn't have much impact on the game, except for blocking Leno's shot well. far better on the left than on the left, he criticized.
Son Heung-min also lost a disappointing goal opportunity in the previous match against AS Roma, and his lack of decision-making power was controversial. Son Heung-min scored one goal and recorded three shots, two effective shots, two key passes, two dribbles and an 81 percent pass success rate against Rome.
Tottenham senior pointed out Son Heung-min's decisive power. Paul Robinson, a commentator for England 'BBC', who used to be a goalkeeper for Tottenham, said "This is a huge mistake by Son Heung-min. He sent the ball over the net from a distance of only six meters. I don't know how I can miss such a good chance. I can't believe a player like Son Heung-min missed this chance."

However, the situation could be different if Son Heung-min's goal-scoring ability holds back the renewal issue. Tottenham recently announced Son Heung-min's extension option instead of renewing his long-term contract. Global sports media The Athletic said on the 27th (Korea time) 'Like Son Heung-min, Ben Davies' contract expires after this season. Tottenham are looking to invoke the option of both players keeping it until next season.

On these issues, King said, `Son Heung-min is replaced too often and Tottenham's play is hindered. I'm not sure if Son Heung-min's condition is 100%. At the end of the Manchester City match, Son looked unhappy on the bench" he insisted.
Son Heung-min did not play full-time against Manchester City earlier. It seemed to be a choice based on the aftermath of the injury. Son Heung-min missed many games this season due to a hamstring injury. The problem is that even though he played the full time of the previous game, he suddenly changed. Son Heung-min usually preferred to play full-time. He has already expressed dissatisfaction with the early replacement against Aston Villa in the match on November 3.
Son Heung-min seems to have expressed regret even after the replacement of this game. However, there is a reason that can be fully understood. It is the relationship between physical condition and renewal of contract. Son Heung-min was recently notified of the failure to renew his contract, and if the opportunity to continue playing decreases due to concerns about his injury, the possibility of renewing his contract will inevitably decrease further.
When Son Heung-min, who led Tottenham with 10 years of dedication, showed poor goal determination in two games, doubts were raised about the renewal of the contract. In the end, it is expected that there will be no other way but to erase doubts by performing once again.
