It has been claimed that Tottenham will sign a three- to four-year contract renewal with Son Heung-min. The source is 'Spursweb'. If you look at the original text, there is no source. It is not enough to define it as fake news, but at least it is just speculation or hope that it is not even 'confirmed issues'.

Spurs Web published an article on the 27th (Korea time) that Son Heung-min is expected to extend his contract with Tottenham.

Spurs Webb said, `I fully expect the Lilywhites to tie the forward down to a new three or four-year contract before the new season begins.'




have no source.

Usually, foreign media describe the source as 'according to the source', 'according to the source, 'according to the source, 'according to the source, etc.

The 'three to four-year renewal of contract' is just an expectation. It is by no means a lie, a fake, or a distortion, but it is not a reliable 'fact'.




In addition, Varad Thirumalai, who wrote this, introduced himself as a 'spurs fan' and 'football fan' on his SNS. It does not appear to be a professional 'journalist' who has secured a source of news.

In fact, all of the articles are quoted.

Tirumali brought in Alan Hutton's comments, citing Football Insider. "Tottenham will implement a one-year extension option with Son Heung-min," Hutton said.




He also cited Team Talk and added that Son Heung-min was related to the rumor of a transfer to Saudi Arabia's RT Hard. Citing the Mirror, he explained that Son Heung-min denied the transfer rumors and cited The Athletic to highlight that Tottenham will trigger a one-year extension option with Son Heung-min for now.

However, regarding the 'three to four-year renewal theory', there is only an expression 'expecting' without revealing the source at all.

Spursweb is also more like a kind of fan community where anyone is free to contribute. It may be suitable to examine the public opinion of local fans, but it is difficult to say that it deals with 'news'.

Objectively, it is very unlikely that Tottenham will give Son Heung-min a three- to four-year contract renewal this summer.

However, invoking a one-year extension option is a natural step.

Son's official contract with Tottenham ends in the summer of 2025. In other words, if Tottenham does not trigger an option and sign a contract, Son Heung-min will be released as a free agent after this season. Tottenham has to send Son Heung-min out without paying a penny in transfer fees.

To prevent this, it is essential to activate a one-year option. If the option is implemented, Son Heung-min will play for Tottenham until the summer of 2026.

Then Tottenham can relax and hit the calculator until the summer of 2025.

It is enough to decide then whether to sell Son Heung-min through the summer transfer market in 2025 or to extend his contract with Son Heung-min again.

In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that it depends on how long Son Heung-min plays in the 2024-2025 season.
