Tottenham Hotspur has officially announced the extension of Heung-Min Son’s contract for an additional year, securing his position at the club until June 2026. This decision ensures that the club captain and South Korean forward will not depart on a free transfer, as his previous deal was set to expire this summer, marking the end of his remarkable decade-long tenure since joining from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015.
In recent weeks, there had been speculation regarding interest from several clubs, including Barcelona, but the 32-year-old will now continue his journey with Spurs for at least another year. Son remains a standout figure in the Premier League, holding the record as the top-scoring Asian player in the league’s history and ranking third among active scorers, trailing only Jamie Vardy and Mo Salah.
Throughout his impressive career at Tottenham, Son has consistently reached double figures in goals for the past eight seasons, sharing the prestigious Golden Boot with Salah in 2022. However, he has faced challenges in maintaining his scoring form this season, having netted only five goals thus far, with just two goals in his last 11 Premier League outings. To date, Son has recorded 169 goals in 431 appearances across all competitions for the club.
A statement from Tottenham expressed their satisfaction in confirming the contract extension for their star player, further solidifying his integral role within the team.
