It is shocking. Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur), the “captain,” is expected to remain loyal to his club’s absurd treatment.
The British media Court Offside reported on Monday (Korea time) that Son has many uncertainties over his future. However, there are talks that Son Heung-min, the legendary Tottenham player, will continue to stay in the team.
Son Heung-min’s future is drawing keen attention. His contract with Tottenham expires at the end of this season. However, he is known to have an option to extend his contract for one year. Earlier, the British media Telegraph said, “Tottenham will soon launch an option to extend his one-year contract for Son Heung-min. Tottenham signed the last contract (four years) with Son Heung-min in July 2021, and the club reportedly has the option to extend his contract for another year.”
It was surprising news. Son left Leverkusen (Germany) and joined Tottenham Hotspur through the transfer window in the summer of 2015. At the time, he was paid 30 million euros. It was the highest fee ever paid for a transfer by an Asian player. Son displayed stellar performance from the 2016-2017 season after going through an adjustment phase. He has established the so-called “DESK Line” with Dele Alli (D), Christian Eriksen (E), Son Heung-min (S), and Harry Kane (K).
He has scored double-digit goals for eight consecutive seasons since the 2016-2017 season. Since the inauguration of the English Premier League in 1992, only seven players have scored more than 10 goals for eight consecutive seasons. In addition, Son became the top scorer in Asia’s first English Premier League (EPL) by scoring 23 goals in the 2021-2022 season. He was a top scorer with 100 percent of purity without scoring a penalty kick. He also left 17 goals and 10 assists in the league during the 2023-2024 season. He once again joined the “10 (goal)-10 (assisted) club.” He became the first Asian player to achieve the EPL 10-10 (11 goals and 10 assists) in the 2019-2020 season. He became the third Asian player to achieve the EPL 10-10 (11 goals and 10 assists) after the 2020-2021 season (17 goals and 10 assists). Son has posted 165 goals and 87 assists in a total of 419 matches for Tottenham.
The news that Son may leave Tottenham showed interest in big clubs around the world. The British media team Talk reported that if Tottenham fails to advance to the European Champions League (UCL), it could sell Son in the transfer window next summer. The French club Paris Saint-Germain has been keeping an eye on Son for a long time. PSG has made plans to recruit Son in the past as well.
So far, Son has been constantly receiving requests from the Saudi Arabian League, Atletico Madrid, and FC Barcelona (Spain). This time, 비아그라 has also been linked.
Son appears to be keeping his allegiance to the club. Court Offside quoted the German version of Sky Sports reporter Florian Flettenberg as saying. “Tottenham is likely to have an option to extend his contract with Son until 2026. Son is likely to stay at Tottenham after 2025.”
Court offside said, ‘It is good news for Tottenham fans that Son Heung-min remains. Son Heung-min is known to be desperate to remain at Tottenham for his first trophy. If there is a player who deserves to lift the trophy at Tottenham, it is Son Heung-min. Fans will be happy to see the captain and legendary figure of Tottenham remain a little longer.’
