Son Heung-min (32) seems to be full of disappointment with Tottenham Hotspur’s lukewarm attitude. The U.K. is also concerned about the possibility of Son Heung-min leaving Tottenham.
Team Talk, a British media outlet, reported on the 26th (Korea time) that “Son Heung-min was not very happy with Tottenham’s plan to launch a one-year extension contract instead of discussing a long-term contract,” adding, “He is continuously playing ahead of his contract that expires in 2025. The percentage of time he has played for Tottenham this season is 53.8 percent.”
For now, Florian Plattenberg of Germany’s “Sky Sports” insisted that Tottenham simply needs to extend the contract. According to the British media “Tottenham Hotspur News,” Plattenberg said, “Tottenham is about to end rumors of Son transferring to the club. I will extend my contract until 2026.” He added, “He will play for Tottenham next season. The club is 100 percent sure.”
Son has already entered his 10th year at Tottenham Hotspur. He spent his prime time at the club after leaving Bayer Leverkusen of Germany’s Bundesliga in 2015. His record proves that. According to the statistics magazine “Transfermarkt,” Son has become the most assisted Tottenham player in history. He has posted 88 assists in a total of 420 matches, tying with Christian Eriksen (current Manchester United).

He is even setting a new record in the English Premier League. He has been on par with legendary names for a long time. Son, who has posted 66 assists overall in the Premier League, has surpassed Gareth Barry and Alan Shearer (more than 64 times, and is fiercely chasing 17th-ranked Darren Anderton (68 times).
However, Tottenham hardly seems to sign a long-term contract with Son, who is nearing the twilight of his career. “Tottenham simply extends Son’s contract with Son. His current contract expires at the end of this season,” the British football team said. “The club intends to leave Son with the club. It uses a clause that extends the contract period until June 2026.”
Last year in the U.K., 조이카지노 Tottenham predicted that Son will sign a long-term contract with Son soon. The main contributor was that Son’s performance in his 30s did not deteriorate at all. “Tottenham will sign a long-term contract with Son,” said Football Insider. “He will also make huge conditions. If he agrees to renew his contract with Tottenham, he will also receive huge bonus. At least he will spend his prime at Tottenham.” He predicted that there will be a clear treatment for the club legend.
Tottenham, however, remains lukewarm even as December approaches. “Tottenham fulfills the option of extending his contract with Son Heung-min,” the Standard said in September. “He will be in his 11th season at the club. His contract expires after the 2024-2025 season. The club has the option to extend his contract for another 12 months. We will exercise this.” The news was reported by Dan Kilpatrick, known as a Tottenham reporter.
Rumors of a transfer are constantly flowing out for this reason. “Korean striker Son Heung-min can leave Tottenham during the winter transfer season. Galatasaray of Turkiye plans to take a bold step to recruit Son,” Pichahes said on Sunday. “He has become a top priority for the Istanbul-based team. He is seeking a transfer negotiation by taking advantage of his unstable future at Tottenham.”
