Son Heung-min wants to stay at Tottenham Hotspur amid ongoing transfer rumors
The British media “The Heart Tackle” said on the 17th (Korea Standard Time), “Son Heung-min wants to stay at Tottenham. Son Heung-min is likely to extend his contract with Tottenham. Tottenham will sign a one-year extension contract with him soon.”
“In recent months, there have been rumors of a potential transfer for Son. However, renowned journalist Florian Flettenberg has now confirmed that Tottenham will exercise Son’s one-year extension and Son will stay at Tottenham until the summer of 2026.”
Son has become a legend of Tottenham. The legend began in 2015. He joined Tottenham after being selected by Mauricio Pochettino during the 2015-16 season. Now Son is the best winger in the Premier League, but back then, there were many negative reviews. By making up for his shortcomings, Son was reborn as the main scorer for Tottenham.
His best performance was in the 2021-22 비아그라 season. Son became the top scorer in the Premier League with 23 goals in the league. He became the first Asian player to win the top five European leagues. At that time, Son scored 23 goals without scoring a penalty.
He showed sluggish performance in the 2022-23 season. He suffered from a sports hernia throughout the season and even suffered from an orbital fracture. Despite tough circumstances, he displayed strength by scoring 10 goals and six assists in the league. Some predicted that Son’s era has come to an end and that he will show sluggish performance in the 2023-24 season as well.
Coach Enze Postecoglou gave Son faith by appointing him as captain. The existing captains, Hugo Lloris and Eric Dier, were classified as out-of-captain under Enze Postecoglou, and as Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich, Son naturally got to wear the captain’s armband. Son’s leadership was already proven in the Korean national team and he was the most established player in Tottenham.
“Son Heung-min has been named captain of our team. Son has been given the captaincy armband from Lloris. James Medicine and Christian Romero have become new vice-captaints. Son, who is also captain of the Korean national soccer team, is now in his ninth season since joining Tottenham,” Tottenham officially announced.
Son showed off tremendous performance. He was close to being a helper in the early days of the season, but continued his scoring streak as he moved to one-top due to poor performance by Hishalisson. Son scored no matter where he was on the left winger or frontline. Son struggled in the opponent team’s defense at the end of the season, but eventually achieved the goal by making 17 goals and 10 assists in the league.
Son has been a key player in Tottenham’s attack this season as well. With Dominic Solanke on his way, Son was able to play as a left winger. He looked disappointed in the opening match, but he showed his skills again by scoring multiple goals in the second round against Everton. He briefly left the club due to a hamstring injury, but Son still exerted a lot of influence after his return.
Recently, rumors have it that Son will be transferred to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Team Talk, a British media outlet, said, “The French big club PSG has long respected Son Heung-min and has made plans to recruit him. If Tottenham fails to advance to the UEFA Champions League, it is possible to sell Son to PSG next summer.”
In addition to PSG, Son has been constantly linked with Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia’s R.E.T.H. has continued to court Son. Last summer, Saudi Arabia swept away world-class players, and Son’s interest in the team continued. However, Son has publicly refused to move to Saudi Arabia.
Son has publicly refused to move to Saudi Arabia. Son said, “I have no intention of going to Saudi Arabia. I like the Premier League and I still have things to do in the PL.” “(Ki) Sung-yong said, “The captain of the national team will not go to China. What matters now is not money. Playing in my favorite league is the most important and that is my pride.”
Rumors of a transfer to Saudi Arabia arose again as reports emerged that Tottenham would not renew the contract with Son Heung-min. However, it is unlikely that Son Heung-min will leave Tottenham at the current atmosphere.
