English Premier League (EPL) soccer club Tottenham Hotspur will activate a one-year contract extension option for South Korea's Son Heung-min, 32, whose contract expires next summer, rather than re-sign him, according to a report in the British media.
“Tottenham will soon trigger a one-year contract extension option for Son Heung-min,” the British newspaper The Telegraph reported on July 4 (local time). ‘The South Korean signed his last contract (four years) in July 2021, but the club is understood to have an option to extend his deal for another year,’ the newspaper said.
“Tottenham only need to inform Son that they are exercising the option to extend his contract. Both Tottenham and Son have agreed to exercise the option.” ”If the option is exercised, Son will have been with Tottenham for 10 years since joining the club in 2015. 토토사이트 The signing of Son Heung-min is one of the greatest achievements in Tottenham's transfer market history.”
Son signed a five-year deal with Tottenham in August 2015 for £22 million from Leverkusen in a £39.3 million move from Germany, extending his contract to 2023 with a new deal in July 2018 and a second new deal in July 2021 that will keep him at the club until 2025.
With Son's contract set to expire at the end of the 2024-2025 season, fans have been interested in whether or not he will re-sign, but Tottenham have remained silent.
In September, Son was asked about renewing his contract at a press conference ahead of the first leg of the UEFA Europa League (UEL) first leg against Garabag, and he responded in principle by saying that he would do his best for the remainder of his contract.
Local media outlets have been speculating since May that Tottenham would only use the option to extend Son's contract instead of re-signing him, but today, The Telegraph reported that the two sides have agreed on an extension option.
With Son Heung-min approaching the age of 32, the local media analyzed that triggering the one-year extension option is a more realistic option for Tottenham than signing a long-term contract that would be burdensome for the club, which has to consider his aging curve.
