Tottenham Hotspur and Son Heung-min are reportedly closing in on sealing an agreement over a new contract.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Son Heung-min is close to signing a new contract with Tottenham Hotspur. The North London giants have been keen on tying the 31-year-old to fresh terms, as his current deal expires next summer.
Son Heung-min and his fulfilling Tottenham journey
Son Heung-min has been one of the best players in the Premier League since joining Tottenham Hotspur from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth £22 million in August 2015. The South Korean international has gone from strength to strength in the last nine years, becoming a club legend with his exploits for the North London outfit.
The 31-year-old has turned out more than 400 times thus far for Tottenham, chipping in with 161 goals and 83 assists. Meanwhile, Son became the North London club’s captain ahead of the 2023/24 season after Ange Postecoglou decided to sanction Hugo Lloris’s departure, especially with Harry Kane joining Bayern Munich.
Son has embraced the additional responsibility with aplomb, rediscovering his best form thus far this season. The experienced attacker is one of the most productive players in the Premier League this term, amassing 16 goals and nine assists in 31 top-flight outings. However, his future has been the subject of speculation in the last few months.
What next?
Reports in the last 12 months have linked Son Heung-min with Real Madrid and the Saudi Pro League. However, he remains the most important player for Ange Postecoglou, meaning Tottenham will not listen to offers for the veteran forward anytime soon. In addition, they want to tie him to a new contract.
Son’s current deal expires next summer, pushing Tottenham to step up and seal an agreement over a new contract. The latest update suggests Son and Tottenham are close to arriving at a common ground over new terms, with the 31-year-old happy and content at the North London club.
With Son and Tottenham close to sealing an agreement over a new contract, an official announcement might be on the cards. It will be interesting to see if any suitor can turn his head or if he commits his future to the North London outfit.
