Tottenham Hotspur will likely trigger an option to extend Son’s contract until 2026. However, there are negative responses such as “gambling” in the U.K.
Florian Plattenberg, a reporter for “Sky Sports” in the U.K., said on his SNS, “Tottenham is expected to invoke the option to extend Son’s contract until 2026, and it seems to be almost decided. Son Heung-min, a 32-year-old world-class winger, also wants to stay at Tottenham.”
Tottenham and Son Heung-min had already been expected to extend their contract by one year. Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European soccer transfer market, said on his SNS, “Tottenham started the process to activate the clause extending Son’s contract until June 2026. The club’s plan is to have Son play for Tottenham for at least one more season.”
Then came shocking news. It was a prediction of Son’s long-term future. “Tottenham has reportedly informed Son that there are no plans to negotiate a new contract. Son’s side is apparently shocked by the sudden decision to cancel the offer,” British media outlet TBR Football reported.
Alex Crook, a reporter for Talk Sports in the U.K., said in an exclusive report, “Tottenham has decided to hold off on renewing the contract with Son Heung-min. Son wanted a long-term contract, but instead Tottenham decided to keep him tied until the summer of 2026, invoking a one-year extension. The decision will not be welcomed by Tottenham fans and was also embarrassing for the player.”
In response, 비아그라 King, a former scout for Tottenham, said, “Son Heung-min has been the best player for Tottenham in recent years along with Harry Kane. It would be foolish for Tottenham to give Son a chance to go to Saudi Arabia. The board of directors should closely monitor himself. Just having Son at the club will greatly help young players. He is a lighthouse to show young players how important it is to train sincerely and play passionately.”
In this situation, there is a continuing talk that Son Heung-min’s chances of staying have increased. In the UK, there is a possibility that Tottenham will negotiate a renewal with Son Heung-min after invoking the option of a one-year extension, and most of all, Son Heung-min wants to stay at Tottenham.
However, others doubted the decision. A Tottenham source called “To the Rain and Back” said, “He is Tottenham’s highest paid player with 190,000 pounds a week. Tottenham is betting on the injured player for less than half of the season. Instead, their money could have been used to bring in younger players.”
“Son Heung-min has been a healthy player throughout his career, but he has already missed six games this season. In the case of Son Heung-min, although his injury history has increased just three months after the start of the season, it is not yet known whether Tottenham’s decision to keep him in the team until 2026 is the right decision,” he added.
