There has been much uncertainty about the future of son Heung-min for the start of the 2024/25 campaign, but it is reported that the Tottenham legend will remain at the club beyond next summer.
The 32-year-old is out of contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the end of the season, although Spurs have the option to activate a clause that extends his contract until 2026.
Having entered the final year of his deal, Son said in September that talks over a new contract have yet to take place with Tottenham and has insisted he is only focused on winning his first trophy with the north London club.
“We haven’t talked about anything yet,” the winger declared via ESPN. “It’s very clear for me. I’m very focused on this season. At this age, every second is like a goal, especially this season, we’re in a lot of competitions, I think I’m even more worried about it.”
Two months on, it looks like Son will remain at Tottenham beyond the 2025 summer transfer window Florian Plettenberg from Sky Germany reports that the Spurs captain will remain in north London for another year as the Premier League side are expected to trigger the clause in his current deal which extends his contract until 2026.
The 32-year-old is also said to be interested in staying at Tottenham as the South Korea international looks for his first trophy for the remainder of the 2024/25 campaign.

Son has been at Tottenham since 2015 after moving to north London from Bayer Leverkusen. The winger has forged a legendary career with Spurs over the past 10 years, producing 165 goals and 87 assists in 419 games.
That longevity saw the South Korean handed the captain’s armband last summer and if anyone deserves to lift a trophy at Tottenham, it’s the 32-year-old.
Ange Postecoglou’s side have a chance this season in cup competitions but will need to improve. Son will also need to step up as the winger hasn’t been at his best, although he has three goals and three assists in eight Premier League games.
It would be a special moment for the Spurs captain and fans of the club will be happy to see the legendary figure stick around for a bit longer.
