Tottenham are reportedly mulling over whether or not to re-sign Son Heung-min, 32, to a new contract.

Alasdair Gold, who covers Tottenham for the British publication Football London, was asked about Son’s contract situation in a Q&A with subscribers on Wednesday (June 12). “Are Tottenham planning to offer Son Heung-min a new contract? Isn’t there a risk with his contract expiring soon?” one subscriber asked.

Gold responded, “Son’s contract has an option to extend until 2026. “We think he’s an important part of the team, both on and off the field, and we want him to stay,” said Gold, adding, ”He’s also the captain of Tottenham. He also wants to lift trophies as the captain of Tottenham.” Tottenham should look to extend Son’s contract through 2026.

His current contract expires in the summer of 2025. Despite having an option for a one-year extension, the club hasn’t exercised it or started contract talks. In the meantime, Atletico Madrid and Saudi Arabia’s Al Ittihad have been reported to be targeting the player.

Heung-min has expressed his affection for Tottenham

Telling the BBC in August: “It means a lot to play 10 years for one team. For that, you need to be consistent. I don’t think I’m a Tottenham legend yet. But if we lift a trophy, I will be happy to receive that title.” Heung-min wants to win a trophy with Tottenham and become a club legend.

However, 메이저사이트 Spurs are hesitant to renew his contract. Heung-min is still performing at the highest level in the Premier League, but his age is a concern for the club. There is a possibility that his performance could decline due to age.

In a recent interview before the UEFA Europa League match against Qarabag, Son opened up about renewing his contract: “I haven’t spoken to the club about renewing my contract. I’m focused on the current season. All I can do is do my best for the team,” he said.

Reports have since emerged about Tottenham’s plans.

“Tottenham are planning to extend Son Heung-min’s contract by one year,” the British Evening Standard reported. His contract expires at the end of this season, but Spurs can keep him for another 12 months by triggering an extension option.”

Tottenham manager Postecoglou has made it clear on several occasions that he wants to keep Son for a long time. He recently said, “He’s leading the team and getting results. We want him to stay at Tottenham for the time being,” he said recently. However, he didn’t mention anything specific about a new contract or extension option.

According to Football Transfer, Spurs will trigger a one-year extension option to prevent Son from leaving in free agency. This decision by chairman Daniel Levy is being interpreted as a strategy to maintain the stability of the team. Rather than letting Son go without a transfer fee, the club will keep the option open for another season.

However, according to Alasdair Gold, all possibilities are open. The player has a one-year option to extend his contract with Spurs, so if he triggers it, there would be plenty of time to discuss a new deal. He also emphasized the importance of Son’s influence under Postecoglou.
