Son Heung-min (33)'s best friend Ben Davis (32) will stay at Tottenham.

Tottenham is happy to exercise its option to extend its one-year contract with Ben Davies on the 8th (Korea time). Davies' extended contract is due in the summer of 2026' it officially announced. Davis is Son's best friend for 10 years.

Davis, one year younger than Son Heung-min, moved to Tottenham from Swansea City in July 2014. He was a year earlier than Son Heung-min, who settled in Tottenham in August 2015. He is the only player currently playing longer than Son Heung-min in the Tottenham squad.




Davis was due to expire this month. Tottenham caught Davies late on by invoking a one-year extension option. Davis played 242 games in the English Premier League (EPL) between centre-back and left-back. He played in 358 games in all competitions.

Son said to Davies, who celebrated his 10th anniversary in July last year, `We shared many memories both inside and outside the stadium. I can do anything for Davis. There are many close players, but among them, they are special friends. I think of him as a family"I left Korea when I was 16 years old. If you leave your country at such a young age, you will not have many friends. In that case, Davis is a necessary friend. When someone needs to say something difficult to bring up, a friend who says something that reminds you directly..." expressed trust.

At the Tottenham fan forum last year, Son Heung-min immediately answered "Davis" when asked "Who is your favorite Tottenham player of all time."

Davis is also so frustrated that Son Heung-min is said to be his son's godfather. When Son Heung-min achieved his 400th appearance at Tottenham last year "When I became a father, Son Heung-min and Joe Roden were the first people to come to see me. He already has a huge fan base and we make normal moments for him like that. When I and Fraser Foster bother him at breakfast time, the humanity comes to life. He's a world class, and above all, he's amazing humanly. I'm glad I got to know him."

The two topped the Europa League last month and lifted the trophy for the first time at Tottenham. The picture of Son Heung-min and Davis holding the trophy together was Tottenham's history.

Davis was likely to break up with Tottenham after this season. Fortunately, the company continues. It is unusual to activate the extension option after the season.




Tottenham had a one-year extension with Son Heung-min earlier this year. Tottenham dismissed coach Enze Postecoglou on the 7th, who shook off the drought of winning for the first time in 17 years.

Son Heung-min is also embroiled in rumors of a transfer. Some analysts say that Son may be trying to tie Son Heung-min to Tottenham through a one-year extension contract with Davis.
