Son Heung-min is reportedly likely to extend his stay with Tottenham Hotspur, who will soon trigger a one-year extension in his deal.
There have been rumours of a potential exit for Son Heung-min in recent months. However, reputed German journalist Florian Plettenberg has now confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur will exercise the one-year extension clause in the player’s contract and that the South Korean will stay at the club until the summer of 2026.
The 32-year-old has been a key player for Tottenham over the years, and it makes sense for Tottenham to hold on to him for his long as possible. Even though the nine-season veteran has shown signs of decline in recent months, he remains a very useful asset for Tottenham and he could help them win trophies.
The 32-year-old is versatile enough to operate anywhere across the front three, and he will continue to add goals and assists to the side. In addition, his winning experience, leadership and mentality could be invaluable additions to Tottenham.
Tottenham are already lacking in depth in the attacking unit, and they cannot afford to lose the 32-year-old anytime soon. With the one-year extension, they will now have ample time to secure a quality long-term replacement for the South Korean. He has been exceptional in the Premier League over the years and replacing a player of his quality can prove to be difficult.
Can Son win his first trophy with Spurs?
In the meantime, the 32-year-old will be hoping to win his first trophy with Tottenham before his contract expires. Tottenham have put together an exciting squad, and they have brought in an ambitious manager.
Spurs have shown plenty of encouraging signs under the Australian manager, and it will be interesting to see if they can add some consistency to their football and win major trophies in the coming months.
Son has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in recent months, and it will be interesting to see if he decides to move to the Saudi Pro League upon the expiry of his Tottenham contract. It could be his final opportunity to land a substantial payday. With multiple top players heading to Saudi Arabia in recent seasons, it would hardly be a surprise.
