Son Heung-min’s current contract has been extended by another year.

The Athletic reports that Son Heung-min’s current contract may be extended by one more year by Tottenham Hotspur.

Son was named club captain by Ange Postecoglou upon his arrival at Tottenham last summer,

and he is an essential component of the Australian’s vision for the team.

The South Korean has made it abundantly evident that he is totally dedicated to the effort,

telling ESPN two weeks ago that he believes Postecoglou’s tactics would make

Spurs a lot stronger team the following season and that he and his teammates fully support them.

With just one year remaining on his current contract at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Son does not appear to be leaving this summer.

Tottenham set to trigger Heung-min Son contract extension

According to The Athletic, Spurs will now use their captain’s one-year option to extend his contract until 2026.

This implies that the agreement would finish one week before the player turns 34.

Over the past several months, a number of sites have also stated that Tottenham plans to extend an

offer to Son for a new long-term contract as soon as possible,

and the club is optimistic that they can reach an agreement with the former Bayer Leverkusen player (Football Insider).

Tottenham most likely made the decision to activate the extension in order

to be in a somewhat stronger position when they start talks with Son’s entourage for a new contract.

I firmly anticipate that this summer, the 31-year-old will sign a new, long-term contract.
