Tottenham Hotspur ‘make decision’ on Son Heung-min’s contract he fumes during 4-1 against Aston Villa

Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly planning to activate a one-year extension on Son Heung-min’s contract, which has been a topic of much discussion recently.

The 32-year-old South Korean forward is currently in the final year of his deal, and his future has become a pressing issue, especially after a recent match against Aston Villa where he expressed frustration over being substituted.

In September, Son mentioned that he had not yet spoken with the club about his future. “We haven’t talked about anything yet. It is very clear from me,” he stated. This lack of communication has led to speculation about his status at the club, especially after his visibly disappointed reaction when he was taken off in the 56th minute of the 4-1 victory over Aston Villa.

Despite the speculation, Son has emphasized his commitment to the current season. He expressed, “I am very focused on this season. At this age, every second is like a goal.

We are in a lot of competitions, and it feels like I’m taking even more care about this.” His dedication is clear as he aims to achieve success for himself and the team.

“I just want to win something that everybody at the club deserves,” he added, underscoring his loyalty to Tottenham after nearly a decade with the club.

Reports indicate that Tottenham intends to utilize an option in Son’s contract that allows them to extend his stay by another year. According to The Telegraph, the club only needs to inform Son that they are triggering this option, and they fully plan to do so.

This decision reflects the club’s desire to retain a player who has been a key figure since he joined from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015.

During his time at Spurs, Son has established himself as one of the top players in the Premier League. He is second only to Harry Kane in total goals scored for the club, having netted 123 times in 310 appearances.

His impressive record highlights his importance to the team and the potential impact of his departure, should it come to that.

Manager Ange Postecoglou has praised Son for his contributions, describing him as a “world-class” player. Postecoglou has noted that Son’s performance often goes underappreciated, particularly due to the nation he represents.

“You look at his record in the Premier League, the toughest league in the world, and his goal contributions have always been impressive,” he remarked.
