Son Heung-min camp shocked as Tottenham U-turn contract decision emerges

Tottenham have told Son Heung-min’s team that the club have no plans to open talks over a new deal with the winger, according to TBR Football.

The online source reported [5 November] that the 32-year-old’s camp has been left shocked by the club’s decision to perform a U-turn on handing the player a new contract after nearly a decade in North London.

It is understood, however, that Spurs are set to trigger the one-year extension in the South Korean’s current deal [The Times], which will expire at the end of the 2024/25 campaign unless action is taken.

Tottenham to not extend Son Heung-min’s contract?

Deciding against extending Son’s contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would be a massive call and not one that would go down well with the fanbase.

The winger, who can also deputise as a centre-forward, has notched 165 goals and 87 assists during his time in North London, also accumulating 417 appearances across all competitions for the Lilywhites.

Son’s dynamic performances have been even more important since Harry Kane’s departure to Bayern Munich last season, though Dominic Solanke has taken away some of the goalscoring pressure now.

The South Korean has become a legendary figure in North London, having been at the club since 2015 and always giving his all for the team, so it seems a strange decision not to extend his contract.

Even at 32 years of age, Son is still one of the most dangerous attackers in the Premier League and continues to punish slack opposition defending week in and week out.

While Solanke, Timo Werner, Richarlison, Brennan Johnson and Dejan Kulusevski are all talented in their own rights, no one compares to what Son brings to the team for each game.

In other Tottenham news, a £100million Timo Werner claim has been made after what happened recently.
