Tottenham are considering offering Son Heung-min a contract extension beyond 2026, according to reporter Ben Jacobs.
Son will be out of contract next summer, but Spurs have an option to extend his contract by a further 12 months, which is likely to be triggered.
The South Korean has started the season well with two goals and two assists in the first five games of the season, and recently revealed that talks over a new deal had yet to take place.
Spurs are considering an offer to extend Son’s contract beyond 2026
Son has been at Spurs since 2015 after arriving from Germany’s Bayer Leverkusen in a £22m deal.
The 32-year-old has established himself as one of the best strikers in the Premier League and has scored 164 goals in 415 appearances for the club so far, but he is yet to get his hands on the silverware.
Ange Postecoglou appointed Son captain last summer and Spurs are still building their attack around their skipper, despite the £65million acquisition of Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth this summer.
Son scored 17 Premier League goals last season and the decision facing Spurs is whether they should extend his deal beyond 2026, when he will be 34, or whether parting ways would make more sense.
Jacobs has provided an update on the situation and what Tottenham’s position is on any potential contact extension.
“I don’t think it’s just a case of Tottenham being desperate to extend Son beyond 2026 if the extra 12 months are included and Son is not committed to the club,” he said. GIVEMESPORT.
“I think it’s more about Tottenham delaying at the end of the club, whether they really want to keep him beyond 2026 or whether they think the 2026 period, given his age and the development of the club, is a natural separation period.
“Until they have decided internally at Spurs what the best approach is, it would be normal for them not to have any direct commitment to the player, so that forces Son to play the waiting game, and that may be why said publicly that he has yet to enter into any talks with Tottenham.
