Tottenham Hotspur have officially extended the contract of their captain, Son Heung-min, until 2026, securing the future of one of the club’s most iconic players. The 32-year-old South Korean forward, who joined Spurs in 2015 from Bayer Leverkusen, has cemented his legacy as one of the club’s greatest contributors, with 169 goals in 431 appearances, making him fourth on Tottenham’s all-time scoring list.
Son’s impact at Spurs has been monumental. Named club captain in August 2023, he has consistently demonstrated leadership on and off the pitch. A highlight of his career came during the 2021/22 season when he shared the Premier League Golden Boot with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, netting 23 goals.
Internationally, Son continues to be a pivotal figure for South Korea, with 131 caps and 51 goals, further solidifying his reputation as one of Asia’s greatest footballers.
In the current season, despite Tottenham’s struggles that have left them 12th in the Premier League table, Son remains a shining light, scoring seven goals across all competitions. His commitment to the club and his continued excellence make him a vital part of Spurs’ plans to rebuild and return to form.
This extension is a testament to Son’s importance to Tottenham’s future as they look to capitalize on his leadership and goal-scoring prowess for seasons to come. Fans will undoubtedly celebrate the decision, seeing it as a step toward stability and ambition in the club’s ongoing journey.
