Tottenham Hotspur are looking to make a number of big signings this summer, but one of the most important deals they could strike appears to be getting closer to completion.
After months of speculation and suggestions it would happen, Ben Jacobs has revealed Tottenham will be tying their captain, Heung-min Son, into a further one-year contract extension very soon.
Jacobs tweeted: “Spurs will trigger a one-year contract extension for Son this summer keeping him at the club until 2026. Current deal expires in 2025, but the Spurs captain will be extended by a further 12 months.”
Son’s current contract was signed in 2021, but it has been widely believed for some time that his stay in North London would be extended without any real issues.
A report from Football Insider last month claimed Spurs were preparing to make concrete plans for the ‘long-term future’ of their star attacker and would be triggering that extension soon.
According to The Athletic, the plan is to confirm the extension, and then negotiate a new, bigger contract with Son at some point.
Former Spurs full-back, Alan Hutton, had told Football Insider that the renewal would ‘100%’ be happening at some point as Son is such a ‘huge’ player for the club.
Having joined the club in 2015, Son has gone on to become a modern icon and club legend at Spurs.
As per GiveMeSport, the South Korean has loved his time at Tottenham, citing the decision to sign for the club as the best move of his career, and playing down the idea of any possible exit this summer.

There is no way we would go through this summer without sorting Son’s contract out, and I would expect it to be wrapped up very soon indeed.
It’s a no-brainer for all parties, and I’d be surprised if we didn’t give him a brand-new contract before the season is over.
