Son is here to stay – Spurs activate the extension clause

He played his best football in partnership with Harry Kane, remaining consistent even after Bayern Munich split one of the most lethal duos in recent Premier League history with a 100 million euro deal. Despite entering the last six months of his contract, Heung-Min Son will stay in North London longer. A plan set in motion in December was realized early in January. Heung-Min Son will remain at Tottenham until the summer of 2026. The Spurs, in agreement with the 32-year-old Korean, activated a clause in his contract to extend it by an additional year. Unless a dramatic turn of events occurs this June and the London club decides to sell the winger, Son will likely climb several of the club’s all-time lists during the 2025/26 season.We are delighted to announce that we have exercised the option to extend Heung-Min Son’s contract, which will now run until the summer of 2026 🤍— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) January 7, 2025 By the end of the current season, he will rank among the top ten players with the most appearances for the club. He has played 431 matches for Spurs so far, needing seven more to surpass Jimmy Dimmock, who played between the two World Wars. It might be too early to talk about joining the “500 club,” but Son is already the fifth-highest goal scorer in Tottenham’s history. Harry Kane leads with 280 goals, followed by Jimmy Greaves with 268, Bobby Smith with 208, Martin Chivers with 174, and Son with 169. If he maintains his scoring form over the next year and a half, he could even break into the “200 club.”You can’t spell anger without Ange: Spurs boss admits he’s lost the plotSon is also Tottenham’s second-highest scorer in European competitions, behind Kane (45 goals), with 25 goals. He holds the record for the most assists for Spurs in the Premier League (68 assists) and is only the 18th most expensive player in the club’s history. When everything is summed up, the conclusion is clear: he is a legend and the greatest foreign player in the history of the London club.##NAJAVA_MECA_8617638##
