Son Heung-min joined Tottenham in 2015 and has been with the club for nine years, becoming an integral part of the club’s legacy. He is fifth on the club’s all-time goalscoring list (162) and is on track to become the 14th player in Tottenham history to reach 400 appearances (408).
In the 2021-2022 season, he became the first Asian player to win the Premier League’s top scorer title, tying Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) with 23 league goals.
This season, he was named captain by Anzhi Postecoglou, becoming the club’s first non-European to wear the armband. Having already captained South Korea’s national soccer team since 2018, Son Heung-min has brought the Spurs squad together with his friendly leadership.
He added 17 goals and 10 assists in the league this season. Spurs finished the season in fifth place, up three spots from eighth the previous season, thanks in large part to Son, who had the most offensive points on the team.
With a fifth-place finish in the Premier League, Tottenham 스포츠토토 and Son will qualify for next season’s UEFA Europa League.
Son, who made 400 appearances and scored 160 goals for Tottenham this season, also made Premier League history by reaching double-digit assists in the final game of the season to record his third 10-10 record.
Son Heung-min, a Tottenham legend, is looking forward to renewing his contract with the club.
“Tottenham will extend Son’s contract by one year, keeping him at the club until 2026,” said global sports outlet The Athletic. “He enjoyed a season where he regained his form. He was an indispensable presence as captain. Tottenham have triggered his contract extension clause, which will keep him at the club until the summer of 2026,” the report said.
Son’s contract with Tottenham expires in the summer of 2025. If Tottenham want to sell Son and earn a transfer fee, they will have to do so this summer. With the clock ticking, it seems that Spurs have decided to buy themselves another year.
In the summer of 2021, Son signed a new contract with Tottenham that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2025, increasing his salary to an 카지노사이트 추천 estimated $18 billion. The deal reportedly included an option to extend the contract by one year to 2026.
It has also been claimed that the club can unilaterally trigger this option without Son’s consent.
Paul O’Keefe, who is familiar with Tottenham news, responded on his social media account to the question, “Can Tottenham exercise the option to extend the contract by one year without Son Heung-min’s consent or does the player have to agree?” “If it’s the club’s option (which I believe it is), then it can be exercised without consent,” he said. This suggests that the option could be exercised without Son’s consent.
Mourinho was recently linked with a move to Fenerbahçe, a club he coached at Tottenham, after being named the club’s manager.
Despite the strong denials from the club’s president, Daniel Levy, who called the rumors “a complete lie,” there’s not much time left for Tottenham and Son to work together.
“I think it’s all about where you put your value. I told Heung-min, ‘When you said you were playing soccer for the first time, I only saw you and soccer. Even now, I only see soccer and you,’” he said. It’s about keeping that initial focus, like you did in the beginning because you were happy and you liked soccer. It means that when you retire, I want you to value happiness, not money,” said Son, explaining that the most important thing is to play where you want.
