Tottenham officially announced on the 7th (Korean time) 'We are happy to exercise Son Heung-min's option to extend his contract, which runs until the summer of 2026' Son Heung-min, who joined Tottenham in the summer of 2015, signed a four-year contract with Tottenham in July 2021.
Three seasons have already passed, and Tottenham and Son Heung-min's contract will expire after the 2024-2025 season. Until last year, Tottenham was known to offer Son Heung-min a long-term renewal. As Son Heung-min is also satisfied with his life at Tottenham, the contract is expected to be renewed without difficulty.
However, there is still no news of the renewal of the contract. However, there was only a lot of talk that Tottenham planned to trigger a one-year extension option to keep Son Heung-min tied. The 'Official' was released on the same day.
Son Heung-min, who is in his 10th season with Tottenham, has established himself as Tottenham's 'Living Legend'. From the 2016-2017 season to the last season, he scored double-digit points for eight consecutive seasons. Since the launch of the EPL in 1992, only seven players have scored 10 or more goals for eight consecutive seasons.
In the 2021-2022 season, he scored 23 goals, becoming the first Asian player to become the top scorer in the EPL. He was 100% pure top scorer with no penalty kick points. Last season, he joined Tottenham's first career club '10-10 Club'. Son Heung-min became the first Asian player to achieve the EPL '10-10' (11 goals-10 assists) in the 2019-2020 season. In the 2020-2021 season, he also scored 17 goals and 10 assists, and stepped on that position once again.
And he opened another new door with 17 goals and 10 assists. Only five players have joined the 10-10 club more than three times in the EPL, including Wayne Rooney, Erik Cantona, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba (retired) and Mohamed Salah (Liverpool).
Son Heung-min was recorded in history as Tottenham's 400th player in April. It is the 14th record in Tottenham's history and the first non-European player. Son Heung-min also opened a new history for Tottenham against Southampton on the 16th.
Beyond Darren Anderton (67 assists), he has recorded a total of 67 and 68 assists, ranking No. 1 in Tottenham's history. Tottenham congratulated Son Heung-min, who became the new king of assistance, by revealing the process of making a special uniform commemorating '68' on social media.
