Introduction: Tottenham Hotspur has extended Heung-Min Son’s contract until June 2026, ensuring the South Korean captain remains a key figure for the club despite their struggles this season. Son’s leadership and consistent performances over nearly a decade have cemented his place as one of Spurs’ most valuable players.
A Decade with Spurs: Son joined Tottenham in August 2015 from Bayer Leverkusen for £22 million. Since then, he has made 431 appearances and scored 169 goals, making him the fourth-highest scorer in the club’s history. Known for his work rate and versatility, Son has been pivotal in Spurs’ domestic and European campaigns over the years.
First Asian Man to win EPL’s Golden Boot: Son has also made a significant mark on the Premier League. With 125 goals in the competition, he holds the record as the highest-scoring Asian player in the league’s history. Notably, he shared the Golden Boot with Mohamed Salah in the 2021-22 season after netting 23 goals, becoming the first Asian to achieve this feat.
Current Premier League situation: Currently captaining Tottenham, Son has remained a standout player despite the team’s struggles. Spurs are 12th in the Premier League standings, but Son has contributed five goals and six assists in 17 appearances. His renewed contract underlines the club’s reliance on his experience and leadership as they navigate this difficult campaign.
