Spurs are reportedly set to trigger the option to extend Heung-min Son’s current deal by a further season.

Son has become something of a Tottenham legend during his nine-year stay at the club, scoring 162 goals which has elevated the 31-year-old into the club’s top five goal scorer of all time. (Tottenham Hotspur)
In the season just gone Son netted 17 league goals in his 35 appearances, despite being shoehorned into the striker role at times due to injuries to players.
Football.London suggests Tottenham are in the market for a new centre-forward this summer we could see the Spurs captain back to his best on the wing next season.
A report from Football Insider on Sunday (30/6/24) states that Tottenham are ‘expected to trigger their option to extend Heung-Min Son’s contract’.
Journalist, Daniel Bowers also revealed that he would be ‘amazed’ if the club didn’t agree to an extra two years on Son’s deal, with the report going on to state that Spurs would then have the option to sell Son next summer or convince him to sign a longer deal.
An extension, which would ensure Son’s stay at Spurs until 2026 according to the report, would allow ‘Spurs to make a long-term plan for the forward’.

Following the exit of England captain Harry Kane last summer and the arrival of Ange Postecoglou, who was an unknown quantity, Son displayed his loyalty by staying in North London; subsequently being handed captaincy.
Triggering Son’s extension would be the expected move from Spurs because there would be outrage if the club lost their captain for free, especially considering Son’s popularity.
Even if, as Son ages, he isn’t in the starting eleven every week, his natural demeanour and work ethic would make him a great character to still have at the club.
