Amid the UK's local interest in the future of Son Heung-min (32), the "Tottenham ace", reports on the invocation of a one-year extension contract option are pouring in day after day.
Son Heung-min signed a '4+1 year' with Tottenham in 2021. The contract expires in June 2025, but if Tottenham activates the extension option, they will have to play for Tottenham for another year. If Tottenham gives up the option of extending their contract, the option will be given to Son Heung-min. In a frustrating situation where Tottenham is hesitating whether to invoke a one-year extension option for Son Heung-min, Son Heung-min can negotiate with any clubs around the world from January 1 next year, four days after Boseman Rule.
British media Give Me Sports quoted Fabrizio Romano as saying that Son Heung-min's one-year extension contract would soon be triggered. It is expected that Son Heung-min, who is still a World Class winger and has powerful ticket power, will not be released to the FA without a transfer fee at the age of 32. British media The Athletic also predicted on the 26th that `Tottenham will activate the option of extending contracts for Son Heung-min and Ben Davies to keep the two players tied to the team for another year.'

However, the British daily The Sun put Son Heung-min on the FA market without hesitation as of the 28th (Korea time). After placing Son at the one-top position in the expiring FA Best 11 in June 2025, the South Korean player with abundant experience proved his deadly finishing ability several times. Son Heung-min, who has never lifted the trophy at Tottenham, may be tempted to lift the trophy elsewhere."
Superstars with rumors of staying and transferring have been listed in the best 11 while contracts with clubs such as Sane, De Bruyne, Salah, Van Dijk, Neuer, Trent Arnold and Kimmich have not yet been finalized.
As uncertainties over Son Heung-min and Tottenham's renewal grew longer, former scout Brian King expressed his opinion through Tottenham News that `Son Heung-min will not be happy as his long-term plans at Tottenham become uncertain.' King "This issue should have been sorted out three or four months agoHe criticized it as "'This is ridiculous.'" Son Heung-min is a quality player who has dedicated his entire football career to Tottenham. No player has ever been better since he first came to this club" he affirmed. "The way he has played recently makes me wonder if his mind is still 100% at Tottenham. Because even if I were Son Heung-min, I would definitely be angry." "How many years has he been at this club. He was actually a star from the first day he came here,' he said, criticizing the club's lukewarm attitude toward Son Heung-min, the club's spirit and representative star. Tottenham News continued 'Son Heung-min will not like how his contract situation is handled. Son Heung-min is one of the most important players on and off the field. Criticizing the way his future is handled, however, that is not reflected at all 'This may be why the 32-year-old Son Heung-min is not at his best recently. In the end, if the club wants to get the star player back on fire, it is the quickest and easiest way to organize Son's future quickly.
