Exclusive: ‘World class’ Tottenham player’s camp left shocked after club perform contract U-turn
A real shocker! ????
- EXCLUSIVE from Graeme Bailey
Tottenham Hotspur are riding the high of what has been a much improved week following their defeat against Crystal Palace.
Ange Postecoglou’s have bounced back with consecutive wins across the Carabao Cup and Premier League against Manchester City and Aston Villa.
There have been some considerable injury issues for Tottenham to deal with already having only just gone into November.
Heung-min Son has been one of those players to suffer from injury already this season with the South Korean withdrawn after 55 minutes on the weekend.
After Son was left frustrated with being substituted against Villa on Sunday, the Spurs captain has been handed with more controversial news by the club.
TBR Football understands that Tottenham have told Son’s people that they are no plans for talks over a new deal.

Tottenham not ready to hand Heung-min Son new contract
Tottenham have now told Son’s camp that there are now no plans to hold talks over a potential new contract with the South Korean winger.
It is believed the Tottenham captain’s camp have been left shocked by the decision to perform a dramatic U-turn on the 32-year-old’s proposed new deal.
Tottenham had held contract talks with Son and his camp with al parties aligned when it came to inking a new deal.
Sources have told TBR the north London side are ready to trigger the extra year in Son’s current deal which is set to expire in the summer.
Son has already admitted he’ll give everything to Tottenham having now nearly been at the club for a decade.

Heung-min Son more important to Tottenham than ever
Despite turning 32-years-old, Son is still showing his quality at Tottenham having returned three goals and three assists in the league.
Brennan Johnson has hailed Son as a huge inspiration for him and regularly looks for advice from the South Korean.
Last 365 days (Per 90) Total Percentile Assists 0.39 98 Shot-Creating Actions 4.43 98 Progressive Passes Rec 11.03 98 Progressive Carries 4.21 97 Touches (Att Pen) 6.28 88
Even in his return from injury, Son was able to provide a moment of brilliance to drag Tottenham back into the game on the weekend.
Tottenham have been quoted £50m for Jamie Gittens who is being eyed as a potential long-term replacement for Son which shows the cost involved in replacing the winger.
Given Spurs aren’t handing out a new deal to Son – as things stand – this could suggest Mikey Moore is doing enough behind the scenes to impress the chiefs in north London.
