At first glance, Tottenham Hotspur are likely to eventually seek to renew their contracts with Son Heung-min (33). But the reality is the opposite. Tottenham are not moving.
It is only coach Enze Postecoglou himself who believes he will move. In addition, he did not take into account that he could be dismissed. He said Son Heung-min would discuss re-signing with the club on the assumption that he would remain on the team without being fired. In a word, it's a brazen pun. Photo = SNS |

At first glance, Tottenham Hotspur will eventually seek to renew the contract with Son Heung-min (33). But the reality is the opposite. Tottenham are not moving.
Coach Enze Postecoglou himself is the only one who believes he will move. In addition, he did not take into account that he could be dismissed. He said Son Heung-min would discuss re-signing with the club on the assumption that he would remain on the team without being fired. In a word, it's a brazen pun.
Coach Postecoglou held a press conference on the 11th (Korea time). It was an official press conference ahead of the 32nd round of the English Premier League (EPL) match against Wolverhampton in the 2024-2025 season at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England, at 10 p.m. on the 13th. Here, Postecoglou mentioned Son Heung-min's contract situation.
British media Football London reported on the 12th that Postecoglou gave the latest news on the contract situation of Tottenham's captain Son Heung-min. It seems as if Postecoglou has unveiled the Tottenham club's secret plan.
However, the content was not like that. Coach Postecoglou replied in a similar way when field reporters asked about the new update on Son Heung-min's contract.
Postecoglou added "We activated the extension option for Son Heung-min. I don't know anything else"All problems can be solved at the right time. Now is not the time to consider such a matter (Son Heung-min renewing his contract)." In fact, it means that he doesn't know and doesn't care.
Coach Postecoglou then added a few words to see if his answer was embarrassing. The problem is that this was a misleading statement. "At the end of the year, the time comes to look back on our team's current situation and make plans for the future," he said. Of course, if I'm here. You can also think about the team's appearance next year and beyond. I think Son Heung-min will also participate in the discussion at that time."
The fact that Son Heung-min will attend discussions about the team beyond next year could mean he has signed a new contract with Tottenham. Therefore, it can be interpreted that Son Heung-min and Tottenham may negotiate re-signing at the end of this year. With this, Postecoglou revealed new news about Son Heung-min's renewal, according to the report.
But there is an important trap here. Postecoglou is... 'If I'm here...It should be noted that the proviso clause ' is attached. In other words, Tottenham will renew the contract with Son Heung-min as long as he remains with the team. Postecoglou may actively request the club to renew the contract in the process.
Anyway, Postecoglou wants to keep using Son Heung-min. This is because there is no one like Son Heung-min in his skills and locker room leadership. So 'If I stay...It can be seen that Son Heung-min expressed his willingness to continue to play under him by attaching a clue clause of '.
In the end, Postecoglou is only thinking about himself until the end. The prospect of Son Heung-min renewing his contract can also be seen as making remarks based on his own judgment according to his situation. It is highly likely that there has been no discussion with Chairman Daniel Levy or Tottenham Boardjin. That's why it's a pun.
Son Heung-min has played for Tottenham since 2015, scoring 173 goals and 96 assists in a total of 451 games. Tottenham scored the fifth-most goals in the club's history. He has 11 goals and 12 assists in 43 official games this season. In the EPL, he played in 28 games, scoring 7 goals and 10 assists.
Tottenham activated Son Heung-min's contract extension option in January. The contract, which was originally until June 2025, has been increased to June 2026. In this summer's transfer market, Tottenham is most likely to cash in by selling Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min, who has the highest weekly salary and is in the process of renovating the team, feels burdened.
The one-year extension option was used to collect a lot of transfer fees. However, if it fails to sell it in the summer transfer market, there is a possibility of renewing the contract. This is because transfer fees are not available in the winter transfer market. Rather than sending a Son Heung-min-class player for free, it may be better to sign a contract for two to three more years on the condition of reducing his salary. In this case, Son Heung-min may sign a life-long contract for Tottenham.
