Son Heung-min’s Contract Extended At Tottenham Until 2026.
Tottenham Hotspur have secured the services of their star forward, Son Heung-min, for an additional year, extending his contract until the summer of 2026. The decision to trigger the one-year option clause was confirmed today, ensuring the South Korean international will continue to don the Spurs jersey.
Since his transfer from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, Son has been a pivotal figure for Tottenham, amassing 169 goals over 431 appearances in all competitions. His contribution in the Premier League alone stands at 125 goals and 68 assists across 320 matches, making him one of the most prolific players in the league’s history.
Tottenham’s head coach, Ange Postecoglou, expressed his delight at the news, stating, “Brilliant. He’s already had an outstanding career at this football club. He’s played a big role in the last sort of 10 years, made an impact at the club and in the Premier League. It’s great to extend his stay. The ambition is to make sure he finishes his Tottenham career with some silverware.”
Despite reaching the Champions League final in 2019 with Tottenham – a match they ultimately lost to Liverpool – Son has yet to lift a trophy with the club. The announcement comes at a critical juncture, just ahead of the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool at home on Wednesday, where Son will undoubtedly play a key role.
This season has been challenging for Tottenham, with the team currently sitting in 12th place in the Premier League. However, Son’s contributions have been notable, with five goals and six assists in 17 league appearances, providing a beacon of hope for fans and the club alike as they look to climb the table and succeed in cup competitions.
The extension of Son’s contract not only secures a fan-favourite and club captain but also signals Tottenham’s intent to build around key players to achieve success in the coming seasons.
