Tottenham Hotspur has triggered a one-year extension in Son Heung-min’s contract, securing the South Korean forward’s stay at the club until the summer of 2026. Son, 32, joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 and has been a prolific scorer, with 169 goals in 431 appearances across all competitions, including 125 goals and 68 assists in 320 Premier League matches. Tottenham’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, praised Son’s significant contribution to the club’s success over the years, highlighting his role in making a considerable impact in the Premier League. Postecoglou expressed his delight at extending Son’s tenure, with a particular focus on ensuring the player’s time at the club culminates in silverware, which has eluded him despite reaching the 2019 Champions League final.
Son has been a key figure at Spurs but has yet to win any major trophies with the club. Despite a strong individual career, Tottenham’s inability to clinch titles in recent years remains a major talking point for the forward. Son’s consistency and performance in the Premier League continue to make him one of the most valuable players in the league, and his role in the squad remains integral as Spurs strive to compete for top honors. While the team currently sits in 12th place in the Premier League standings, Son has still contributed five goals and six assists in 17 appearances, showing his ongoing influence on the pitch.
Tottenham made this announcement just ahead of their Carabao Cup semi-final match against Liverpool. With Son now committed to staying until 2026, Spurs fans will be hopeful that his continued presence can inspire a turnaround in the club’s fortunes. The extension comes during a crucial period for Tottenham as they aim to challenge for higher positions in the league and secure European football for the future. While Spurs are yet to live up to expectations this season, Postecoglou’s goal is clear—he wants to guide the team to success, with Son being a key figure in the process.
