Voices calling for a renewal of the contract with captain Son Heung-min (31, Tottenham Hotspur) are growing.
Britain’s ‘Football Fancast’ said on the 12th (Korean time), “Tottenham cannot afford to lose any more star players after Harry Kane left. Considering that they failed to find a replacement for Kane, the departure of another striker is devastating. “It will happen,” he said. “Reporter Alasdair Gold of ‘Football London’ mentioned the situation of Son Heung-min’s contract, which is set to expire in 2025.”
Tottenham appears to be seeking to renew Son Heung-min’s contract recently. His contract currently runs through the summer of 2025. After this season ends, there is exactly one year left on the contract. For Tottenham, who want to keep him, it is a good time to push for behind-the-scenes negotiations.
It appears that negotiations have already begun informally. Paul O’Keefe, who is familiar with Tottenham’s internal news, said on social media, “Tottenham is trying to extend captain Son Heung-min’s contract. Informal talks have already taken place.”
If Son Heung-min signs a contract with Tottenham once again, there is a high possibility that he will retire from Tottenham altogether. He has been with Tottenham for 9 seasons since joining Tottenham in the summer of 2015. He is expected to remain a Tottenham legend as he showed his loyalty by renewing his contract twice in 2018 and 2021, putting aside various transfer rumors.
Most Tottenham fans who heard the news welcomed him with both hands, saying things like, “Son Heung-min deserves it,” “Extend the contract period to his entire life, please,” and “May he retire from Tottenham. All fans want that.” When asked about the possibility of renewing his contract, Paul O’Keefe also replied, “I hope there are no problems. To be honest, he is loyal.”
Reporter Gold also felt the same way. He, who boasts high credibility as a representative Tottenham internal reporter, claimed through his YouTube channel, “I will be shocked to the point of fainting if a new contract is not offered to Son Heung-min. I will probably say it quite briefly.”
Reporter Gold then raised his voice, saying, “Son Heung-min’s contract has only two years left. Tottenham will also pay attention to him. He is the club’s captain. I think the new contract with Son Heung-min is a great move.”
Some are concerned about the aging curve, as Son Heung-min was born in 1992. But reporter Gold had a different idea. He dismissed it, saying, “That’s right. Son Heung-min is in his 30s. But he just needs to extend his contract for a year or two. Why wouldn’t he?” If you are really worried, you can sign a short-term contract for 1-2 years and then think about it later.
Reporter Gold also emphasized Son Heung-min’s marketing effectiveness. He said: “It’s a great advertisement for Tottenham and what kind of person Son Heung-min is, what kind of player he is and what a good person he is. “It sounds really cynical, but I’m sure he will bring a lot of money to Tottenham. He’s a huge player all over the world. “It has a reputation, of course throughout Asia,” he said emphatically.
Finally, Gold said, “I’m sure the money Son Heung-min is earning will make a new contract an easy task. Whether he wants to sign a new contract or not is another story. I think he’s very happy right now. If he wants to commit, ,
Of course, looking at his skills alone, there is enough reason for Tottenham to keep Son Heung-min. He has been with Tottenham for 9 seasons since joining Tottenham in 2015, and has played in 377 games so far, scoring 148 goals and 80 assists. Son Heung-min has scored double-digit scores in the Premier League (PL) for seven consecutive seasons, achieved 20 impressive attack points for seven consecutive seasons, was the top scorer in the PL in the 2020-2021 season, and was named to the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) Team of the Year in the 2020-2021 season. He has achieved numerous milestones, including 11th place in the 2022 Ballon d’Or.
Son Heung-min is still showing off his skills this season. Last season, he suffered from sports hernia, orbital fracture surgery, and changed tactics, and scored 10 goals and 6 assists in the league and 14 goals and 6 assists in official games. He was determined to return as the ‘Sony everyone knows’ and succeeded in filling Kane’s vacancy by scoring a fantastic hat trick in the last game against Burnley.먹튀검증
Now he is even responsible for the captain’s armband. He was appointed as Tottenham’s new captain ahead of the opening of the 2023-2024 season. He became the official leader, taking over the armband from Hugo Lloris under the instructions of coach Angie Postecoglou. Son Heung-min is the first non-European national to serve as captain since Tottenham was founded in 1882.
Tottenham fan community ‘The Spurs News’ also welcomed the news of Son Heung-min’s contract renewal. The media said, “Son Heung-min still remains a key figure in the squad. It is reasonable for the club to offer him a new contract.” Heung-min Son, as captain, will probably have to be replaced by a new player within a few years. But he is still in the locker room. “He is an influential player.”
