Son Heung-min's legendary treatment NO will be released next year for a fee...Tottenham to implement one-year extension option
Blog Article
Son Heung-min has only one year to be given additional time. Tottenham Hotspur has no intention of being together more than that. It is known that they have already looked for a replacement.
"Tottenham is set to invoke a one-year extension clause with Son. The 32-year-old has been remarkable since his move from Germany in 2015, but Tottenham may say goodbye to him soon. Tottenham has a clause that allows them to extend Son's contract for another year, and they will invoke that clause. Son will leave in 2026," the report said.
Another British media outlet, Football Transfers, also reported on the same day, "Son Heung-min is Tottenham's top earner. The contract is valid until 2025, and Son recently admitted that there has been no discussion about a new contract, but Tottenham plans to sign a one-year extension to hold on until 2026. It is certain that Son will extend it for another year so that he does not leave without a free agent."
"Chairman Daniel Levy's use of the contract extension is a key strategy to maintain the stability of the team. Through this approach, Son Heung-min, the fan's favorite, is expected to remain a serious figure for a while under coach Anji Postecoglou," he said, adding that Son Heung-min will remain a key player at Tottenham until June 2026.
Son, who was born in 1992, is in his mid-30s. Realistically, he doesn't have much time left to play as an active player. Taking these into account, Tottenham also decided to invoke the one-year extension option rather than signing a long-term contract with Son.
However, it turned out that there has been no official proposal yet. This is the fact that Son Heung-min revealed himself.
"I haven't said anything (with the club) about the re-signing," he told an official press conference ahead of the UEFA Europa League match against Karabakh last month. "I am very clear. I am very focused on this season. Every moment is like a goal at this age. I think I am paying more attention to it, especially as I am participating in many competitions this season," he said. "I have not had any discussions with Tottenham about renewing the contract."
"As I said, I am fully focused on this season. I want the club to get what everyone and players deserve (the trophy). That is what I strive for. I don't know what will happen in the future, but I will do everything for this club. It has been almost 10 years since I played here. I am still signed with the team, and that is the most important thing. I want to do everything until the contract is over," he said, promising to do his best for Tottenham for the rest of the year.
However, Tottenham is preparing to say goodbye to Son. They have already searched for a substitute.
"Son Heung-min has been the most important striker under coach Anji Postecoglou, and he has scored two goals and two assists throughout all competitions this season. He was involved in 27 goals with 17 goals and 10 assists last season," Football FanCast said. "Coach Postecoglou is considering recruiting a transfer market in January to replace Son, and technical director Johan Lange is also looking for a replacement for Son."
"To prepare for the future and provide an option to recruit another player instead of Son Heung-min, Tottenham is trying to recruit a new player to the offensive team. La Liga RCD Espanyol winger Harvey Poido is the main character," he said, adding, "The 26-year-old Poido played an important role in Espanyol's promotion to La Liga last season and scored 20 goals in all competitions since the 2023-24 season."
It has been revealed that the Tottenham scout has already recognized Poido's potential. The media said, "Tottenham is looking to recruit Poido in January next year. Tottenham scouts were already impressed with Poido in the match between Espanyol and Rayo Bayecano in August," adding, "Lease player Alejo Bellis was on the field to see him score points in extra time in the second half, and that day, Poido caught the attention of the scout."
If the rumor of Poirot being recruited is true, Tottenham should be considered to be doing its best to find a substitute for Son Heung-min. It seems that Son Heung-min's performance is likely to decline as he is heading into his mid-30s.
Football Transfers also said, "Tottenham has targeted the La Liga winger amid the decision to sign Son Heung-min. We are keeping an eye on RCD Espanyol winger Harvey Puado to strengthen the team in the January transfer window," adding, "Fuado has caught the attention of Tottenham scouts who were watching loanee Alejo Bellis play against Real Bayecano in early September. The 26-year-old Puado, whose contract will end in 2025, has made an impressive start this season by scoring three goals in eight matches." 안전놀이터
There are also opinions that Son Heung-min is on the decline. They urgently need to find a replacement for Son Heung-min.
The Athletic, a global sports media outlet, said, "He can't do everything on his own anymore. Tottenham should find a way to score a goal at any point without having to rely on him. Son is already showing signs of slowing down. This season, he is recording 1.4 shots per 90 minutes in the league. This is the lowest number he has ever spent at Tottenham."
"The expected score per 90 minutes is 0.28, the lowest ever. It will be difficult for Tottenham, but it's time for the next generation of strikers to come forward and bridge the gap," he said, adding that new players should follow Son's lead.
As a result, Ben Jacobs, an expert in the European soccer transfer market, argued that the reason Tottenham wants to extend its contract with Son Heung-min for only one year is dragging its feet. Rather than releasing it for free next summer, he will extend it by one more year until 2026 and make a judgment then.
In the end, Son Heung-min has only one year to be given additional time. It is highly likely that Son Heung-min will not be seen playing for Tottenham in 2026.
