He developed himself at HSV, made his name at Bayer Leverkusen, and became one of the world’s best left wingers at Tottenham. This season marks the tenth in which Heung-Min Son wears the jersey of the London club, and according to well-informed Sky journalist Florian Plettenberg, the South Korean international will remain with the Spurs next season as well. Son’s current contract with Tottenham is valid until next June, but it is reportedly already agreed that the option to extend it for another year, until July 2026, will be activated.Lloris on Spurs’ losing mentality: Before the UCL final, they gave us watches engraved with “Champions League Finalist”!This means the captain will have the opportunity to break into the top five players with the most appearances for the Spurs. Son currently ranks eighth with 419 matches (165 goals, 87 assists), and by the end of this season, he could move up two spots. The first ahead of him is Glenn Hoddle with 427 appearances, and in sixth place is Harry Kane with 435. In fifth place is former Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris with 447 matches, while the record holder for the most appearances in a Tottenham jersey is Steve Perryman with an incredible 751 games.##NAJAVA_MECA_8502045##If Son surpasses Lloris, the South Korean footballer would become the highest-ranked foreign player on this list. Given that the gap is 28 matches, it is not impossible for Son to overtake the Frenchman this season, although it would mean playing nearly every game for Tottenham in the next six months. If he were younger than 32, this might be expected, but as it stands, it’s unlikely. Also, Plettenberg reports that so far, there are not expectations that Son’s contract will be renewed after 2026.
