Tottenham and South Korea’s national soccer team captain Son Heung-min have recently been mentioned as a strong possibility of renewing his contract with his team. Local media, including British media and , recently reported that Tottenham is positively discussing renewing the contract with Son Heung-min.
Son Heung-min’s contract period is until June 2025 and there is a one-year contract extension. If Tottenham signs a new contract with Son Heung-min, the contract period will be extended further. Given the age of Son Heung-min, who is now 31, this contract is likely to be a life-long contract with Tottenham.
Son Heung-min’s current weekly wage is also known to be around 190,000 pounds (about 315 million won), ranking second in the team behind Tanguy Ndombele (Galatasaray), who is currently on loan. Tottenham is also likely to be guaranteed a huge salary increase considering Son’s contribution to the team and the symbolism of being the current club captain.
Son Heung-min has been playing in the English Premier League (EPL) since joining Tottenham in the 2015-16 season after passing through Hamburg and Leverkusen in Germany. He has played in 284 games in nine Premier League seasons with Tottenham, scoring 113 goals and 56 assists, and is currently a leading striker in the EPL. 파워볼실시간
Son Heung-min became the first Asian player to top the Premier League scoring list in the 2021-22 season. He has already scored 10 goals in the Premier League this season, becoming the seventh player in EPL history to set a milestone of “double-digit Premier League goals for eight consecutive seasons.” He is also the first Asian player to be appointed as the captain of Tottenham, proving his leadership. Son is already a “world class” player recognized by European soccer and a living legend of Tottenham and EPL.
Son has signed a total of three contracts with Tottenham every three years so far. After first joining Tottenham in 2015, he renewed his contracts in 2018 and 2021, extending his companionship.
At the end of this season, there was a year left until the expiration of the basic contract, and Son Heung-min also showed a good performance over the sluggishness of last season, so it is an appropriate time to negotiate a contract renewal. It is clear that Tottenham desperately wants to renew the contract with Son Heung-min, the ace, and Son Heung-min has also shown his loyalty to Tottenham, so there seems to be no big problem in negotiations.
