Despite now being into his thirties, a former Premier League club chief still values Son at ‘around’ £100m and has predicted a new two-year contract for the Spurs star.
Heung-Min Son has cemented himself as a Tottenham icon over the past ten years, raising his level to become a player who scored above ten league goals on a fairly regular basis.
In spite of Harry Kane leaving last summer, Son remained and was awarded captaincy by new boss, Postecoglou.
The South Korean international penned a four-year deal in 2021, but that contract is nearing its final year, and former Everton chief (now an elite club consultant). Keith Wyness, has expressed his expectation for Tottenham to offer their skipper another two years in London.
Son, who is rapidly approaching his 32nd birthday, was reportedly of interest to Saudi Arabian clubs last season but the player himself expressed how he was living his ‘dream’ playing for Spurs in the Premier League (Reuters).
Rumours of a Saudi move have continued though with GiveMeSport reporting that Saudi clubs are still ‘interested’.
The 31-year-old recorded twenty-seven goal contributions in his thirty-five league appearances this season (TransferMarkt), a number that was a lot closer to the level Son has created for himself following a below-par season before.
Expert, Wyness, however, described it as a ‘pretty poor season’ but still valued the forward at ‘around the £100 million mark’. (Football Insider)
Wyness, talking to Football Insider’s podcast, explained how he concludes ‘I do think they’ll increase his wages, but I don’t think it will be a big increase’. The former Everton chief reckons the deal will be a ‘two-year contract’ which would see Son play for Spurs until he was almost 34.
Discussions of a new deal for Tottenham’s marquee forward, who was shoehorned for some of the season into a striker position, have been rumbling on for a while with GiveMeSport claiming back in March that ‘talks are ongoing’ having started in 2023 with the club seeking ‘to take the next step in negotiations’.
Spurs Web Opinion
I think almost every single Tottenham fan will be happy to see Son stay around at Tottenham for the upcoming seasons, in whatever capacity that evolves to be as the current captain continues to age into his thirties.
It was still a successful season numerically for Son despite him frequently being frustratingly lost in games when deployed as a striker, however, with Richarlison back fit next season and a new centre-forward possibly joining, Son could be back to his best next season.
